Description
The Ambledale floor lamp stands 1580mm tall on metalwork finished in antique brass, with twin candle lamps under a champagne coloured fabric shade. The frame measures 480mm wide and 335mm deep, so the head sits out over a chair arm rather than directly above it, which puts the light on the page instead of on your shoulder. Two E14 candle bulbs of up to 40W each are needed and are supplied separately. Metal, glass and fabric all feature in the build, and at 8.3kg this floor light has enough weight to stay where you put it.
It is a reading lamp first: beside a wing chair or the end of a sofa, in a snug, a bay window or a bedroom corner where a table lamp has nowhere to stand. Two lamps rather than one give a broader, softer spread than a single spotlight style floor light, and the fabric shade keeps the glare off. Antique brass sits comfortably with dark timber, painted panelling, leather and older rugs, and it warms up a plain room without needing anything else in the space to match it.
The lamp is a Class 2 fitting, double insulated, and the metalwork carries the antique brass finish throughout. It is not listed as dimmable, so plan on standard switching and control the mood with the choice of bulb instead. Brush the fabric shade with a soft clothes brush and dust the metalwork with a dry cloth, avoiding brass polish and abrasive creams, which strip an antique finish rather than feed it. The Ambledale range also runs to a table lamp, single and twin wall lights, a three light pendant and a five light chandelier.

Frequently Asked
What is it made from?
Metalwork in an antique brass finish with a champagne coloured fabric shade, and glass used in the detailing. It weighs 8.3kg, which keeps it steady in use.
How tall is it?
1580mm tall, 480mm wide and 335mm deep, which is standard reading height for an armchair or the end of a sofa.
Which bulbs does it take?
Two E14 candle bulbs of up to 40W each, supplied separately. LED candle bulbs work well and keep the shade cool.
Can I put it on a dimmer?
It is not listed as dimmable, so we would not rely on a dimmer with it. Choose a warmer, lower output bulb if you want a softer light.
How do I clean the shade and the brass?
Brush the fabric with a soft clothes brush and wipe the metal with a dry cloth. Keep brass polish and abrasive creams away from the antique finish.
Are there matching pieces?
Yes. The Ambledale range includes a table lamp, a swing arm floor lamp, single and twin wall lights, a three light pendant and a five light chandelier.
