Acanto 1 Light Table Lamp - Polished Chrome with Black Shade

The Acanto is a single-light table lamp built around a polished chrome scrollwork frame with a black pleated silk shade and a clear cut crystal drip pan positioned mid-stem. The E14 bulb sits beneath the 200mm shade, casting light through the black silk pleats while the crystal pan refracts and scatters additional light below. The polished chrome finish gives mirror-bright reflections that contrast with the matte black shade fabric.

Designed for bedside tables, side consoles in living rooms, and dressing tables where a compact decorative lamp is needed, the Acanto's 340mm total height and 200mm width keep it in proportion with typical nightstand surfaces. The scrollwork base spreads across approximately 210mm, giving stability without dominating the footprint. The lamp works as a pair flanking a bed or as a single accent on an entrance console where the chrome and black palette bridges traditional and contemporary interiors.

The polished chrome scrollwork uses a hand-bent technique visible in the curves and volutes of the base, giving each lamp slight variation in the exact arc of the metalwork. The black silk shade is pleated in vertical lines that create texture when lit and allow the bulb's light to pass through as fine striations. The cut crystal pan sits on the stem between the base and the shade, positioned to catch and refract both upward light from the bulb and downward reflections from the chrome canopy inside the shade.

What bulb does the Acanto take?

The lamp takes a single E14 small Edison screw bulb, sold separately. Most users pair it with a 4-6W LED candle bulb in warm white (2700K-3000K) for bedside use, though the fitting accepts bulbs up to the maximum wattage specified by Mantra for safe operation.

Is the Acanto dimmable?

Yes, when paired with a dimmable E14 LED bulb and a compatible dimmer switch on the circuit. The lamp itself does not include an integrated dimmer, so dimming capability depends on the bulb and the wall switch or plug-in dimmer controlling it.

What is the crystal pan for?

The cut crystal pan positioned mid-stem refracts light from the bulb above, scattering additional sparkle and ambient light below the shade. It also serves as a decorative element that adds weight and visual interest to the stem.

Can the Acanto be used as a pair?

Yes. The lamp is commonly used in pairs on bedside tables or flanking a console. The compact 200mm width and symmetrical scrollwork base make it suitable for mirrored placement.
