Seahorse Lucite Base Table Lamp

Happy St. Patrick's Day! How was your weekend and March break? It was no rest for the wicked for yours truly. I had to be in Vegas for a conference for the majority of the week only to fly right back into the deep freeze again. The upside was that I received a free upgrade to a 1500 sq ft penthouse suite at the MGM Grand. The suite was so large for one person that it felt a bit creepy - there were 3 TVs, one of which would turn itself on in the middle of the night; there were 2 bathrooms and one of them had a bidet and a humongous jacuzzi tub in it; there were daily super lush bathrobes and spa slippers which I liked very much. Anyhow, I survived the busy week and hopefully I am off the road this week. 

Yesterday Mom and I met up for lunch and we took a quick trip to one of our favourite stores - HomeSense. It's been a while (by that I mean 4 weeks) since I last visited HS, and there were definitely quite a bit fresh inventories. Mom spotted this seahorse table lamp with lucite base and encouraged me to get it. 

It reminds me of the Jonathan Adler's seahorse lamp. The lucite base and gold leaf seahorse sculpture combination looks so glamorous. 

I know nautical motif is pretty popular in a nursery, but would you use this lamp in it? Is it too formal and too much regency for a nursery? Is it a keeper?
