Louise 1 Light Crystal Table Lamp - Polished Chrome with White Shade

The Louise is a 440mm crystal table lamp built around a polished chrome scrollwork frame with a white organza shade. The chrome forms a flowing loop at the centre, suspending a single faceted crystal droplet, with smaller crystals set into the upper band beneath the shade holder. A single E27 bulb (sold separately) illuminates the shade from above, allowing light to pass through the organza fabric while the crystals refract glints across the polished chrome surfaces.

Designed for bedside tables, dressing tables and living room sideboards, the Louise provides ambient light through the shade while the crystal detailing adds decorative accent. The 160mm diameter base gives a compact footprint suited to narrower surfaces, and the 1.5kg weight keeps the lamp stable on most flat surfaces without needing to be secured. The lamp is dimmable when paired with a compatible E27 LED or halogen bulb and a suitable dimmer switch on the circuit.

The polished chrome finish reflects surrounding light sources and creates contrast against the matte white organza shade, which softens the light output from the bulb. The faceted crystal droplet suspended at the centre of the loop catches both daylight and artificial light, producing small refractions that shift as viewing angle changes. The organza shade uses a gathered construction that adds texture to the smooth metal frame, and the translucent fabric diffuses the bulb glow without blocking it entirely.

What bulb does the Louise take?

The lamp uses a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb, sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K for ambient bedside or living room lighting. The maximum recommended wattage depends on the bulb type — LED bulbs can run higher lumen output than halogen at lower wattage.

Is the Louise dimmable?

Yes, when paired with a dimmable E27 bulb and a compatible dimmer switch on the lighting circuit. The lamp itself does not have a built-in dimmer — dimming control is provided by the wall switch or plug dimmer and the bulb specification.

How is the organza shade cleaned?

The white organza shade can be gently dusted with a soft brush or dry microfibre cloth. For more stubborn marks, the shade can be carefully wiped with a barely-damp cloth, but avoid soaking the fabric or using household sprays which may stain or discolour the organza.

What size surface does it suit?

The 160mm diameter base fits comfortably on most bedside tables, narrow consoles and dressing tables. The 440mm height sits below eye level when seated, making it suitable as a reading lamp next to a bed or armchair without causing glare.
