Description
The Provence is a single-light floor lamp with a matt old bronze finish, three adjustable knuckle joints on the arm, and a conical metal shade lined in a lighter tone to reflect warm light downwards. The lamp stands 1673mm tall on a weighted round base, with an E27 fitting inside the shade (bulb sold separately).
Designed for reading corners, beside sofas, and in home offices where directed task light is needed, the three knuckle joints allow the head to be positioned over a desk surface, angled down onto a book, or extended out from the base to clear the arm of a chair. The weighted base keeps the lamp stable when the arm is fully extended, and the round footprint of approximately 280mm suits placement on rugs and bare floors.
The old bronze finish is a dark brown-grey patinated metal that reads warmer than matt black under daylight and pairs well with mid-century, industrial and traditional interiors. The conical shade measures approximately 280mm diameter at the base, directing light in a focused pool rather than diffusing it across the room. The lighter-toned interior of the shade reflects bulb output downwards, increasing efficiency when paired with a warm-white LED.
From Elstead Lighting, the Provence references mid-20th-century French task lighting in its articulated arm construction and weighted base form, adapted for contemporary UK homes with standard E27 bulb compatibility and an earthed three-pin plug.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does the Provence take?
The lamp takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a 6-10W warm-white LED bulb at 2700K-3000K for reading.
How adjustable is the arm?
The arm has three knuckle joints that allow the shade to be angled downwards, extended outwards from the base, and tilted to direct light onto a specific surface. The joints hold position under the weight of the shade without needing to be tightened.
Is the base weighted enough for stability when the arm is extended?
Yes. The round base is weighted to balance the lamp when the arm is fully extended over a desk or chair. The 280mm footprint provides stability on both bare floors and rugs.
What is the old bronze finish like in different lighting?
Old bronze is a dark brown-grey patinated metal finish that appears warmer than matt black under daylight and takes on amber-brown tones under warm artificial light. It pairs well with timber, leather and warm-toned textiles.
