Description
A slim rectangular column in antique brass, this is a base sold ready for a shade of your own choosing. The brass has a softly aged tone that takes the glare off new metal, so it sits quietly against wood, paint and paper rather than pulling the eye. The rectangular section is narrow, so it takes up little room on a crowded shelf. An inline switch on the flex puts control within reach of the table top, and the E27 holder is a common size, so lamps and shade fittings are easy to source.
At 44cm tall before a shade is added, it suits a bedside table, a sideboard or a desk where something bigger would crowd the surface. It works well flanking a mirror, or at either end of a chest of drawers, and it earns its place in a reading corner or on a hall console table. Fit an LED lamp of up to 20W, matched to the shade you settle on; with a dimmable lamp and a compatible dimmer, the light can be taken down low for the evening.
The antique brass finish runs the length of the base, with a mains flex and inline switch trailing from the foot. Keep it looking well with an occasional dry cloth; polishes and spray cleaners bite into an aged finish, so we leave them well alone. It belongs in dry rooms indoors, clear of basins, sinks and splashes. It carries a one year warranty. Shades are a matter of taste here: a small drum or an empire in linen keeps things calm, while a pleated shade gives more to look at. Shade and lamp are both bought separately.

Frequently Asked
Does it come with a shade?
No, this is the base only. It is made to take a shade of your own choosing, which lets you set the height, width and character of the finished lamp.
What are the dimensions?
The base stands 440mm high, with a footprint of 180mm by 120mm, so it needs very little surface space.
Which lamp should I use?
It takes an E27 screw lamp of up to 20W. An LED is the sensible choice, and the shade you pick will guide the shape and finish of lamp that looks best in it.
Can the light be dimmed?
Yes, provided you fit a dimmable lamp and pair it with a compatible dimmer.
How is it switched?
There is an inline switch on the flex, so you can turn it on and off without reaching under the shade.
How should the brass be cleaned?
Dust it with a dry soft cloth. Avoid metal polish, cream cleaners and sprays, as these can lift the aged tone from the surface.
