Coniston 2 Light Crystal Table Lamp - French Gold

The Coniston is a 260mm diameter crystal table lamp with two E14 fittings housed within a tiered French gold frame, surrounded by cascading clear cut crystal droplets arranged in three descending layers. Each layer holds shorter crystals than the one above, creating a dome profile that concentrates light at the centre while scattering refracted light across surrounding surfaces.

Designed for bedside tables, console tables in entrance halls, and sideboards in dining rooms or living rooms, the Coniston provides both ambient and decorative light. The 480mm height positions the lamp head at a comfortable level for reading next to a bed when paired with two 6-10W E14 LED bulbs, while the crystal surround acts as a diffuser that softens direct light from the bulbs themselves. The French gold finish on the frame and stem provides a warm metallic tone that contrasts with the cooler clarity of the cut crystal.

The crystal pieces are individually hung on the tiered frame, each one facet-cut to maximise refraction when light passes through them. The combined weight of the crystal and metal frame gives the lamp a substantial 4.9kg presence on the surface it sits on, requiring a stable base rather than a floating shelf. The French gold finish has a soft brushed quality rather than high polish, which reduces glare under daylight while maintaining warmth under artificial light.

What bulbs does it take?

The Coniston takes two E14 small Edison screw bulbs, each up to 20W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K for bedside or decorative use.

Is it dimmable?

Yes, when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The lamp itself has no built-in dimming function, so dimmer compatibility depends on the specific bulbs chosen and the dimmer model installed.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Switch off and allow the bulbs to cool fully before cleaning. Remove dust with a dry microfibre cloth or a soft brush. For fingerprints or more stubborn marks, use a barely-damp cloth with distilled water, then dry immediately to prevent water spots on the crystal.
