Acanto 1 Light Table Lamp - Antique Brass With Amber Cream Shade

The Acanto is a single-light table lamp built around a curved antique brass frame with scrollwork arms that branch outward from a central stem, supporting a pleated amber cream silk shade at the top. A circular crystal pan sits midway up the stem, catching and refracting light from the E14 bulb above. The antique brass finish has a darker, slightly aged patina that contrasts with the warm cream tone of the fabric shade.

Designed for side tables, nightstands and console surfaces in living rooms, bedrooms and hallways, the Acanto provides ambient and decorative function rather than task lighting. The scrollwork base gives the lamp a footprint of approximately 200mm square, with the shade sitting at 340mm height from the surface. The pleated silk diffuses light softly rather than directing it, making the lamp suitable for atmospheric lighting in the evening or as accent lighting alongside overhead fittings.

The crystal pan below the shade adds visual weight and reflects light from the bulb back through the shade, increasing the ambient glow without directing light downward. The antique brass frame pairs well with traditional, classical and warm-toned transitional interiors, and the amber cream shade softens the overall tone compared to a white or ivory fabric. The lamp accepts any standard E14 small Edison screw bulb up to the maximum wattage listed in the specification, and is dimmable when paired with a suitable dimmable bulb and dimmer switch.

The Acanto is part of a wider collection from Mantra that includes matching wall lights and floor lamps, allowing coordinated lighting across a room or throughout a property. The 1kg weight gives the lamp stability on most surfaces without needing to be secured, and the crystal pan and brass scrollwork are designed to be cleaned with a dry microfibre cloth.

What bulb does the Acanto take?

The lamp takes one E14 small Edison screw bulb. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 4-6W and 2700K for ambient evening lighting.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, when paired with a dimmable E14 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch. The lamp itself has no built-in dimming function, so both the bulb and the wall dimmer must support dimming.

What's the purpose of the crystal pan?

The crystal pan sits below the shade and reflects light from the bulb back through the fabric, increasing the ambient glow and adding a decorative element. It does not direct light downward.

Can the shade be removed for cleaning?

Yes. The pleated silk shade lifts off the frame for dusting or replacing. Clean the shade with a soft brush or dry microfibre cloth. The crystal pan and brass frame should be wiped with a dry cloth only, avoiding household sprays or polishes.
