Description
Three lamps sit under a single faux silk drum shade here, so the light lands soft and even rather than in a hard pool. The shade is grey with a white laminate lining, carried on a slim antique brass column and a weighted circular base. The base gives it enough heft to stand steady on a rug or a thick carpet. A foot switch on the flex means you can turn it on and off without stooping. It stands 1.6m tall, which puts the bottom of the shade near seated eye level in most rooms.
We would stand it at the end of a sofa or beside an armchair, where E14 candle lamps give plenty to read by without asking a ceiling fitting to do all the work. It suits sitting rooms and larger bedrooms, and it earns its place in a corner that needs filling as much as it needs lighting. This is a lamp for a house where the big light gets switched on less than the corners do. With suitable lamps and a separate dimmer it can be dimmed, though no dimmer comes with it. LED candle lamps are what we reach for here.
The metalwork wears an antique brass finish, warm and gently aged rather than bright, and the drum shade is wide enough to throw light out across a good stretch of floor. For cleaning, switch off at the socket, then go over the fabric with a soft brush or an upholstery attachment and buff the metal with a dry duster; polishes and sprays do this finish no favours. It carries a one year warranty. Grey reads as a neutral against most upholstery, so it will sit as happily beside older wood furniture as it will beside painted modern pieces. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
Which lamps does it take?
Three E14 candle lamps, up to 20W each. LED candle lamps in the C35 shape are the ones we would fit, and lamps are supplied separately.
How is it switched?
A foot switch is fitted on the flex, so you can operate it without reaching under the shade.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you use dimmable lamps together with a compatible dimmer. No dimmer is supplied with the lamp.
What size is the shade, and how tall is the lamp overall?
The faux silk shade measures 50cm across and 20cm deep, and the lamp stands 1.6m tall.
How do I clean the shade without marking it?
Keep it dry. A soft brush or a vacuum upholstery attachment on low suction lifts dust from the faux silk; avoid damp cloths and fabric sprays.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or a covered porch?
No. It is intended for dry rooms indoors, such as a sitting room, study or bedroom.
