Description
Antique brass with the warmth and slight darkening that finish is known for, this is a small piece of shade hardware rather than a light in its own right. It measures 50mm across and is made to suit shades 18cm tall. Nothing about it is electrical: there is no socket and no wiring, so it simply dresses the metalwork of the lamp it belongs to. The scale is modest and deliberately so, the sort of detail you notice at close quarters on a table lamp rather than from across a room. The shade is not included: the photographs show the clip on a plain drum; the lamp shades are sold separately.
We reach for pieces like this when a shade is being replaced and the original brasswork no longer has anything to match it, or when a base and its shade need pulling into the same family of finish. It suits bedside lamps, a pair on a console table, or a reading lamp beside a chair: places where the fitting sits near eye level and the small parts are on show. Antique brass works happily with older timber, painted furniture and warmer wall colours, and it takes the hard edge off anything too new-looking. Dry indoor rooms only, please.
The finish has a soft, aged look rather than a bright polish, so fingerprints and light marks show far less than they would on chrome. Keep it clean with a dry cloth and nothing more; polishes, creams and abrasive pads will lift the ageing and leave bright patches that cannot be put back. It carries a one year warranty. We stock this Sigma piece in shorter and taller versions for other shade heights, and in chrome, satin black and satin nickel alongside the antique brass, which makes it straightforward to keep several lamps in a room reading as a set. It holds no lamp of its own.

Frequently Asked
What size shade is this made for?
It is intended for shades 18cm tall. The piece itself is 50mm wide with a projection of 10mm, so it stays visually slim against the clip.
Is this an electrical item?
No. It is a non-electric accessory with no socket and no wiring, so any light comes from the lamp it is used with.
How should I clean the antique brass?
A dry cloth is all it needs. Avoid metal polish, cream cleaners and abrasive pads, as these strip the aged tone and leave shiny patches.
Can I match it to other Sigma pieces?
Yes. The same antique brass finish is offered in 15cm, 17cm and 22cm versions for taller and shorter shades, so a set of lamps can be kept consistent.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated for dry indoor use, so keep it to bedrooms, sitting rooms, halls and studies.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, it carries a one year warranty from the maker.
