Alfa Large 1 Light Crystal Table Lamp - Antique Brass

The Alfa Large is a 240mm crystal table lamp built around a rectangular antique brass arch frame that supports a faceted optical glass shade at its centre. The shade is precision-cut with multiple facets that refract light through the glass, creating prismatic reflections when the lamp is lit. A single G9 bulb (sold separately) sits inside the shade, casting light through the faceted surfaces and outward through the open brass frame.

Designed for side tables, console surfaces and bedside use, the Alfa's compact 180mm width and 120mm depth allow it to fit on narrower surfaces without dominating the horizontal space. The antique brass finish has a warm, slightly aged patina that softens reflections and pairs well with traditional, classical and warm contemporary interiors. The arch frame lifts the glass shade 150-160mm above the base, positioning the light source at a comfortable height for ambient side lighting or gentle reading light when paired with a warm G9 LED.

The crystal shade is optical-grade glass, heavier and clearer than standard pressed glass, with sharply defined facet edges that produce distinct prismatic effects under direct light. The open frame design allows light to escape in multiple directions rather than being confined by a solid reflector, making this a decorative accent lamp rather than a high-output task light. The 1.2kg weight gives the lamp stability on polished surfaces without needing a weighted base.

What bulb does the Alfa take?

The lamp takes a single G9 capsule bulb, sold separately. Most users pair this with a 3-5W G9 LED in warm white (2700K-3000K) for ambient decorative lighting. Higher-wattage halogen G9 bulbs can be used but produce more heat inside the glass shade.

Is the Alfa dimmable?

Yes, provided you use a dimmable G9 bulb and pair it with a compatible dimmer switch. Not all G9 LEDs are dimmable, so check the bulb specification before purchasing.

What surfaces does the lamp suit?

The 180mm x 120mm base footprint fits most side tables, narrow consoles and bedside tables. The flat rectangular base sits stable on polished wood, marble, glass and laminate surfaces. The 1.2kg weight prevents tipping on typical household surfaces.

How is the crystal shade cleaned?

The faceted glass can be wiped with a dry microfibre cloth when the lamp is unplugged and cool. For fingerprints or dust in the facet grooves, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water works well. Avoid spraying household glass cleaners directly onto the shade near the electrical fitting.
