Siena 2 Light Crystal Table Lamp - Polished Brass With Amber Shades

The Siena is a 2 light table lamp built around a polished brass frame that curves into two arching arms, each supporting an amber silk string shade and a single hanging crystal pendalogue. The frame rises from a flat rectangular plinth and forms a figure-of-eight silhouette, with both arms angled symmetrically to place the shades at different heights for visual balance.

Designed for side tables in traditional and classical living rooms, bedrooms and hallways, the Siena provides ambient accent lighting rather than direct task light. The amber silk shades diffuse the light from two E14 bulbs (sold separately) into a warm glow, while the crystal pendalogues beneath each arm catch and refract the light into small prismatic highlights. At 540mm height and 270mm width, the lamp occupies a standard side table without overwhelming smaller surfaces.

The polished brass finish is high-gloss and reflective, showing fingerprints and surface marks more readily than brushed or satin finishes, so occasional cleaning with a soft cloth maintains the shine. The amber silk string shades are constructed from silk thread wound tightly over a wire frame, creating vertical ribbing that shows through when backlit. The crystal pendalogues are facet-cut glass teardrops, not lead crystal, and hang on brass hooks beneath each shade arm. The lamp is dimmable when paired with suitable E14 dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch.

What bulbs does the Siena take?

The lamp takes two E14 (small Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K for ambient lighting that complements the amber shades.

Is the Siena dimmable?

Yes, when paired with dimmable E14 bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch. The lamp itself has no built-in dimming mechanism, so dimmer compatibility depends entirely on the bulbs chosen.

How is the polished brass finish maintained?

Polished brass is a high-gloss reflective finish that shows fingerprints and surface marks. Wipe gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to maintain the shine. For tarnish or stubborn marks, a brass polish specifically formulated for polished finishes can be used, but avoid abrasive cleaners.

Are the crystals lead crystal?

The crystal pendalogues are facet-cut glass teardrops, not lead crystal. They provide light refraction and decorative detail but are lighter in weight than lead crystal equivalents.
