Description
A curved stem lifts off a round base and arcs over at the top, finished in antique brass with the softened, slightly darkened tone that name suggests. It comes without a shade, which is rather the point: the E27 socket takes whatever you choose to sit on it, from a small drum to a coolie in linen or card. It stands 145cm tall and the base measures 25cm across, so it holds its ground in a corner without crowding the furniture around it. The shade and the lamp are not included; see our lamp shades.
We reach for this one where a table lamp has nowhere to stand: beside an armchair with no side table, at the end of a sofa, or in a bedroom corner that wants a pool of light rather than a bright ceiling. It is switched at the lamp itself, so there is no hunting for a wall switch in the dark. Choose a dimmable lamp and run it with a compatible dimmer and the level comes down for the evening. Lamps up to 20W are accommodated, which an LED covers very comfortably.
It is double insulated, and dry indoor rooms are where it belongs rather than a porch or a conservatory that runs damp. The antique brass asks for little: a dry duster now and then, and a wipe with a barely damp cloth if fingerprints show, with the lamp switched off and cool beforehand. Keep abrasives away from it, as the aged tone sits on the surface. We would top it with a wide, shallow shade so the sweep of the stem stays on show, or a taller cylinder if you want the light thrown down onto a book. It carries a one year warranty.

Frequently Asked
What size shade suits this base?
There is no fixed answer, though a shade of roughly 30 to 40cm across tends to sit in proportion with the 25cm base and the curve of the stem. Take the arc into account: a very deep shade can hang low over a seat. Choose one from our lamp shades.
What lamp does it take?
One E27 lamp, up to 20W. An LED is the sensible choice, and the shade you pick will guide the shape and finish, whether that is a clear globe on show or a plain opal lamp hidden away.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, with a dimmable lamp and a matching dimmer. The lamp and dimmer must be compatible with one another for smooth, flicker free control.
How tall is it?
1450mm to the top, with a round base of 250mm diameter. It weighs 4.6kg, so it feels planted on carpet or a hard floor.
How should the brass be cleaned?
Dust it dry, and for marks use a cloth just damp with water, then dry it off. No polishes, creams or scouring pads, and always with the power off and the lamp cool.
