Description
Three candle lamps sit together beneath a single faux silk shade, so the light spreads wide and soft across a corner rather than pooling in one bright spot. The upright and base are finished in antique brass, warm and mellow rather than bright and polished, and the wide drum shade above it is white. A foot switch on the flex does away with fumbling for a rocker on the cable, and with suitable lamps and a separate dimmer the level can be brought down for the evening.
At 1.6m tall with a 45cm shade, it reads as a proper reading lamp: the sort of thing that stands beside a wing chair, at the end of a sofa or in the gap between a bookcase and a window. We reach for one like this where there is no side table to spare, or where the seating sits too far from a ceiling point to get any real use from it. It works in a bedroom too, on the far side of the bed for late reading, and in a study corner where a desk lamp would be too tight and directional. Three E14 candle lamps give you the option of running just enough light for company or the full set for a book.
The shade is faux silk over a white lining, and the metalwork is double insulated, so no earth connection is needed. Keep the fabric fresh with a soft brush or the upholstery tool on a vacuum, working around the shade rather than across it, and give the brass an occasional buff with a dry duster; nothing wet and nothing abrasive. It carries a one year warranty. We stock it in the antique brass and white pairing shown, which sits comfortably with brass picture lights or aged metal frames elsewhere in the room. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What lamps does it take, and what is the maximum wattage?
It takes three E14 candle lamps, up to 20W each. LED candle lamps in the C35 shape are the sensible choice and are what we would fit.
How tall is it and how much floor space does it need?
It stands 1600mm high, and the shade measures 450mm across, so allow roughly half a metre of clearance for the widest point.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, with dimmable lamps and a separate dimmer. No dimmer is supplied with the lamp.
How is it switched?
There is a foot switch on the flex, so you can turn it on and off without reaching under the shade.
How should the faux silk shade be cleaned?
Dust it with a soft brush or a vacuum upholstery tool, with the power off and the lamps cool. Avoid damp cloths and solvents on the fabric.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or a covered porch?
No. It is rated IP20 for dry interior rooms only.
