Hamner Optical Glass Table Lamp - Nickel

The Hamner is a 37cm optical glass table lamp built around a twisted crystal column that sits on a nickel base with ornate claw-style feet and a faceted platform. The glass column is cut with vertical flutes that spiral upwards, catching and refracting light from any nearby source. A BC (B22 bayonet cap) bulb fitting sits at the top behind a shade mount, accepting bulbs up to 60W.

Designed for console tables, writing desks, bedside tables and side tables in rooms with traditional or vintage-inspired interiors, the Hamner pairs decorative presence with functional task light. The 19cm diameter footprint suits narrow console depths and standard bedside table widths without overhang. The nickel finish on the base and fittings provides a cooler metallic tone that pairs with chrome, brushed steel and cooler greys, contrasting with the warm tones often found in brass-heavy traditional schemes.

The optical glass column is solid throughout, giving the lamp a 2kg weight that sits firmly on surfaces without tipping. The vertical flutes in the glass create a prismatic effect under daylight and artificial light, turning the column itself into a decorative element even when the lamp is switched off. The claw feet and faceted platform reference Victorian and Edwardian glass design, adding period detail without overwhelming contemporary or transitional interiors.

The BC bulb fitting accepts standard bayonet-cap LED, halogen or filament bulbs. Most users pair this with a 6-10W warm-white LED bulb at 2700K-3000K for bedside or desk reading, though the 60W maximum allows for brighter output where needed. The shade is sold separately, allowing buyers to choose a fabric, pleated or drum shade that matches their room scheme.
