Description
A compact fabric wall light with a taupe faux silk shade lined in halo gold, carried on matt black metalwork. The shade is 12cm across, so the fitting keeps close to the wall and throws a soft, contained pool of light rather than washing a whole room. That gold inner face warms the light on its way out and keeps the taupe reading as a soft, warm neutral rather than a flat grey. A rocker switch sits on the body, so the light is controlled where you stand.
We reach for this one beside a bed where the table is already full of books and a glass of water, and in hallways or on a landing where a shade of any real width would be in the way. It suits a reading corner, a spare room or the side of a chimney breast just as well. It takes a single E14 candle lamp, and we would fit a warm white LED candle here and forget about it; up to 20W is allowed, and a dimmable lamp is needed if you want it on a dimmer. Lamps are bought separately.
The metal parts are painted a low sheen black that does not pick up fingerprints the way a polished finish does, and the shade is a fabric over frame construction with the gold lining bonded inside. For upkeep, run a soft clothes brush or a vacuum nozzle at low suction over the fabric now and then, and use nothing damp on it; the black metal takes a dry cloth. Wired for ordinary household mains, it belongs in rooms that stay dry, so kitchens and hallways yes, shower rooms no. It carries a one year warranty. Two of them at either side of a headboard give a tidy, matched pair, and the black and taupe sits happily with brass or dark timber elsewhere in the room.

Frequently Asked
What size is the shade?
The shade measures 12cm in diameter by 20cm in height. Overall, the fitting stands 355mm tall, is 120mm wide and projects 180mm from the wall.
Which lamp does it take?
One E14 candle lamp, up to 20W. An LED candle (C35 shape) is the sensible choice. Lamps are not supplied with the fitting.
Can I dim it?
Yes, provided you fit a dimmable lamp and have a suitable dimmer. No dimmer is included, and the fitting also has its own rocker switch for on and off.
Is there a switch on the light itself?
Yes. A rocker switch is fitted to the body, which is useful at a bedside or in a room where you would rather not reach for a wall switch.
How do I clean the faux silk shade?
Dust it with a soft brush or a vacuum on the lowest suction. Keep water, sprays and damp cloths away from the fabric; the matt black metal can be wiped with a dry cloth.
Can it be used in a bathroom?
No. It is rated for dry indoor rooms only and should not be fitted where it may be splashed or exposed to steam.
