Description
The Elderford medium table lamp stands 555mm tall with a 400mm multicoloured Tiffany-style leaded glass shade on a metal base. Two 60W E27 GLS bulbs sit under the shade, so it gives more light than a single-bulb lamp of the same size, and bulbs are supplied separately. The shade is built from individually cut glass panels joined in lead, and the colour holds its pattern whether the lamp is lit or not. At 3.5kg it has enough weight to sit steady on a side table.
This is a lamp for a room that needs light rather than just a glow. The 400mm shade and twin bulbs make it a good fit on a sideboard, a console or a wide bedside table, and it holds its own in a living room corner where a smaller lamp would disappear. Because the shade is 400mm across, allow around half a metre of clear surface. It suits period homes and rooms with dark joinery, and it reads well against plain walls where the glass can be the colour in the room.
The base and shade fittings are metal, the shade is leaded glass, and both are made to take everyday handling. Lift the lamp by the base, never the shade. Dust with a dry soft cloth, and use a barely damp cloth on the glass when needed, drying it straight after so the lead does not sit wet. Keep solvents and abrasive creams away. It is a Class 1 fitting with an earthed lead and is not a dimming fitting, so choose bulb output with that in mind. Matching Elderford pendant options carry the same glass overhead.

Frequently Asked
What is the shade made of?
Multicoloured leaded glass in the Tiffany style, cut into panels and joined with lead, on a metal base and frame.
How much surface does it need?
The shade is 400mm across and the lamp stands 555mm tall, so allow roughly half a metre of clear surface on a sideboard, console or wide bedside table.
Which bulbs does it take?
Two 60W E27 GLS bulbs, not included. Two bulbs light the shade more evenly than one and give a higher overall output.
Can I put it on a dimmer?
This lamp is not a dimming fitting, so set the light level by choosing bulb output rather than relying on a dimmer.
How should I clean it?
Dust with a dry soft cloth. For marks, use a barely damp cloth and dry it immediately so the lead lines are not left wet. Avoid solvents and abrasive creams.
How do I move it safely?
Always lift it by the metal base rather than the shade, so no load is carried by the leaded glass panels.
