Alfa 2 Light Crystal Table Lamp - French Gold

The Alfa is a 340mm twin-light table lamp built around a curved French gold frame that sweeps upward from a pentagonal base, holding two faceted optical glass shades at offset heights. Each shade is cut with multiple flat facets that refract light when the G9 bulbs are lit, scattering prismatic patterns onto nearby surfaces. The frame itself is finished in French gold, a warm yellow-gold tone that sits between polished brass and antique gold.

Designed for console tables, bedside positions and side tables in living rooms where decorative accent lighting is needed, the Alfa provides ambient rather than task-level light. The twin G9 fittings take standard halogen or LED capsule bulbs up to 40W each (sold separately), and the lamp is dimmable when paired with suitable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The curved frame gives the lamp a sculptural presence even when unlit, making it a functional ornament rather than purely utilitarian lighting.

The optical glass shades are heavier and clearer than standard pressed glass, with sharper facet edges that produce more defined refractions. The pentagonal base gives the lamp stability on flat surfaces despite the asymmetric weight distribution of the curved arm. At 3.3kg the lamp has enough mass to resist tipping if the cable is snagged, but it should still be placed away from table edges in homes with children or pets.

The French gold finish on the metal frame is applied as a coating rather than solid brass, so it should be cleaned with a dry microfibre cloth rather than metal polish. The optical glass shades can be wiped with a damp cloth and dried immediately to avoid water spots.

What bulbs does it take?

The Alfa takes two G9 capsule bulbs, each up to 40W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED G9 bulbs between 2W-5W and 2700K-3000K for ambient accent lighting.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, provided you use dimmable G9 bulbs and pair the lamp with a compatible dimmer switch. Not all LED G9 bulbs are dimmable, so check the bulb packaging before purchasing.

How is the crystal cleaned?

The optical glass shades can be wiped with a slightly damp microfibre cloth and dried immediately to avoid water spots. The French gold frame should be dusted with a dry cloth only — do not use metal polish or household sprays.

What size table does it suit?

The 180mm x 120mm footprint suits console tables, bedside tables and side tables with a minimum depth of 250mm. The 340mm height works well on surfaces between 500-800mm high, such as standard bedside tables or low consoles.
