First introduced to Europe in the 1940s, the pineapple was served only by affluent hosts who could afford it and determined their guests were worth the expense. In turn, the fruit became a symbol of generosity, hospitality and of course, wealth. Create a sense of welcome in your home with a glass pineapple lamp trimmed in chrome fittings. And the best part? You won’t need to spend a fortune to bring this symbol of warmth into your home.
