Glenthorpe Floor Lamp - Gilded Oak Hammered Iron with Irish Linen Shade

The Glenthorpe is a 174cm floor lamp built around a hammered iron base finished in gilded oak, topped with a natural Irish linen drum shade. The base is formed from flat iron sections hand-hammered to create texture, then finished in a warm oak-toned metallic that sits between bronze and antique brass. The 51cm square footprint provides stability without requiring wall support.

Designed for living rooms, reading corners and hallways where ambient light is needed alongside decorative presence, the Glenthorpe accepts a single E27 bulb up to 60W (sold separately). The Irish linen shade diffuses the light softly, reducing glare while maintaining enough brightness for reading when positioned beside an armchair or sofa. The hammered texture on the iron catches light differently throughout the day as the angle of natural light changes.

The gilded oak finish adds warmth to industrial-style metalwork, making the lamp comfortable in both contemporary and traditional interiors. The flat iron frame creates a visible structure rather than a solid mass, so the lamp reads as architectural without blocking sightlines across a room. At 13.6kg the lamp sits firmly on rugs or bare floors without needing additional weighting. The Irish linen shade measures approximately 51cm diameter, scaled to balance the height and width of the iron frame.

A matching table lamp version is available separately for those building a coordinated lighting scheme across multiple rooms or wanting to pair a floor and table lamp in the same space.

What bulb does the Glenthorpe take?

The lamp takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 8-12W and 2700K-3000K for ambient or reading light.

Is the shade washable?

The Irish linen shade can accumulate dust over time. Use a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner set to low suction, or a dry microfibre cloth to remove surface dust. Avoid water or chemical cleaners as linen can shrink or stain.

How stable is the base on rugs?

At 13.6kg with a 51cm square footprint, the Glenthorpe is stable on most short-pile and medium-pile rugs as well as bare floors. On thick shag rugs the lamp may benefit from being positioned where part of the base sits on bare floor.

What does 'gilded oak' mean as a finish?

Gilded oak is a warm metallic finish applied to the hammered iron that sits between bronze and antique brass in tone. It adds warmth to the industrial metal frame, making it pair comfortably with wood furniture and warm-toned interiors.
