I’m considering purchasing the Saint-Louis Folia Mini Portable Lamp, but I’m torn between the gold and copper finishes. I love the elegant design, but I can’t decide which color would be more versatile and timeless.

For those who own this lamp (or similar Saint-Louis pieces), how do the finishes compare in terms of appearance and how they complement different interiors? Does one stand out more in person? Any insights or photos would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
I was also torn between the gold and the copper finish. I was only able to see the copper finish in person in store as small order had just arrived.

I normally tend more towards gold for my own jewelry but the copper looks more "neutral" - it would blend well with any setting...as some mentioned it looks great against darker wood.

This is a photo I took in store before ordering. I fell in love with the warmth of the copper and my SA mentioned copper might be a better match for the larger version which comes in wood - if I eventually decide to buy the larger one.Screenshot 2025-02-12 100231.jpg
 
I thought I'd post this here. LOVE these mini votives! Waiting for another color to come in. I purchased this amethyst votive in January for $760 and purchased the clear (which is priced less than color crystal) last October for $590. There probably was a price increase in January not sure how much. No matter the price I can't wait for my next!

Thats fun

That’s funny you mention I think this is the one I will also go for. Which size is this?

Did they allow you to order it? I think my store only has the floor model (although it may have since sold)
You're lucky the store has a display! My local store doesn't stock much or any st Louis so most things are order only (Im really bad at visualizing sizing lol) I ended up getting the medium size and it's bigger than I expected! I was worried small would be too small but in the catalog they actually pair the small and medium side by side and it looks pretty nice together lol

For the ordering process I originally wanted something else but she couldn't order it so I went with this and she had to check if anyone else was ordering... Since there was 2 other ppl she said it's good I can order, I waited maybe 4-6 months for it to arrive.

If you’d like I’m happy to post pics of all of the vases I saw (saw this line- the one you purchased) and folia as well at another department store another line I thought I would prefer but strongly disliked in person.

The medium is quite large! I hope/think I’m getting the size small (my SA wasn’t 100% sure)- I didn’t realize these are so hard to come by? You can purchase St Louis at other dept stores and it’s online so why such a long wait. Now I’m nervous it has since sold! The look lovely together too, my apt isn’t big enough for the bigger ones I think though.

Ohhhhhh yes I'd love to see pics if you have 😍 i actually like their folia line but don't believe the vase image caught my attention as much as the royal did... I can't tell how small the small is but seeing the medium I feel like I would had been ok with the small...also the other ppl on the order list also asked for medium so I followed lol

I hope they're not sold out for you! It's a lovely piece imo 💕
 
I hope this helps!! I think this folia pictured is a size medium as well, very curious how the smaller size would fit.

Hopefully these are all still available when I go next week (these pics I took in early May, but it was available still in early June I just didn’t have time to go back til next week unfortunately)

Thank you for the pictures!! This is actually a very nice display I wished they had in my store

Funny enough the first pic is actually what I tried to buy but in the taller version and was told no I couldn't order it so then I went for the royal 😂

I have the folia lamps which I love but I agree the vase is not it compared to the other options. I think the small royal is cute just need to cut down the stems a bit more than the medium.

Yes that’s actually the one I thought looked so nice online then when I saw in person I found it pretty dull.

I also have a folia lamp but I wouldn’t be keeping these in same room so I figured I don’t need to make a match.

I don’t have a lot of table or counter space so I think I have no choice but the smaller one. Staying hopeful that I’ll be able to share new pics next week :)

Enjoy yours!!! It’s so pretty and peaceful
