Description
The Ninette is a 2 light table lamp built around a twin-arm antique brass frame that forms a symmetrical curved loop, supporting a wide black fabric drum shade above a circular brass base. Each arm holds an E14 bulb fitting inside the shade, providing ambient light diffused through the black fabric. The lamp stands 460mm tall with a 340mm-wide shade and a 170mm-diameter base footprint.
Designed for bedside tables, console tables and side tables in living rooms, the Ninette provides soft ambient lighting rather than directed task light. The dual E14 bulbs (sold separately) allow the lamp to deliver enough output for a bedside reading position when paired with warm-white LED bulbs in the 4-6W range. The lamp is dimmable when used with dimmable bulbs and a compatible table lamp dimmer, giving control over light intensity from full brightness to a low nightlight level.
The antique brass finish on the metal frame has a slightly aged, warmer tone compared to polished brass, sitting between yellow brass and bronze. The black drum shade measures approximately 200mm in height and uses a semi-open weave fabric that allows some light to escape through the material as well as from the top and bottom apertures. The combined weight of 2kg gives the lamp a stable presence on narrow console tables without tipping when the shade is adjusted.
The Ninette is part of Mantra's collection of Spanish-designed decorative lighting. The twin-arm construction references mid-century table lamp design while the oversized drum shade and finish combination suit both traditional and contemporary interiors with warm or neutral palettes.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does the Ninette take?
The lamp takes two E14 (small Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for bedside or living room ambient lighting.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, when used with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible table lamp dimmer. The lamp itself has no built-in dimming — dimming is controlled by the bulb type and an external dimmer unit.
What's the difference between antique brass and polished brass?
Antique brass has a slightly darker, warmer tone with a subtle aged patina effect, giving it a less reflective finish than polished brass. It sits between yellow brass and bronze in appearance.
Is the shade removable for bulb replacement?
Yes. The drum shade lifts off the frame to access the E14 bulb fittings inside. The shade is held in place by the metal spider fitting that sits on top of the twin-arm loop.
