Description
This is a small decorative piece in satin black, a slim upright detail 50mm wide and sized to sit with shades of 18cm in height. The finish is a soft low-sheen black rather than a gloss, so it reads as a quiet outline instead of catching every reflection. It is a detail meant to be read at close range, which is why the finish matters more than the size. It is light in the hand and shallow in profile, keeping close to the line of the clip it accompanies. There is no electrical part to it; light output and lamp choice stay with the fitting it joins. The shade is not included: the photographs show the clip on a plain drum; the lamp shades are sold separately.
We keep these for the moments when a plain drum or tapered shade wants a little punctuation: a pair of bedside lamps that need to look deliberate, a table lamp in a study, a small shade on a wall light in a hallway. Black works hard here, since it holds its own against brass, chrome and painted timber alike, and it suits darker interiors where a bright metal would jump out. It suits anyone building a scheme in stages, as one piece at a time is an affordable change. It is an easy way to tie several lamps together without buying new shades.
The satin black surface wipes clean with a dry cloth, and a barely damp one will lift anything greasier; keep polishes and sprays away from it, as they dull the sheen over time. It carries a one year warranty. Satin black also runs through the other heights in this range, alongside chrome, satin nickel, antique brass, brown oxide and bronze, so a whole run of lamps can be matched or deliberately mixed. We would choose one finish and repeat it across a room.

Frequently Asked
What size of shade is this piece intended for?
It is sized for shades 18cm tall. The piece itself is 50mm wide with a shallow 10mm projection, so it stays close to the clip profile.
Does it use electricity or take a lamp?
No. It is a non-electrical decorative piece, rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms, and the lamp is chosen to suit the fitting it is used with.
How should the satin black finish be cleaned?
A dry cloth for dust, and a very lightly damp cloth for marks. Avoid metal polishes, cream cleaners and aerosol sprays, which can leave the satin surface patchy.
Is it heavy enough to affect a small shade?
It weighs around 0.03kg, so it adds almost nothing.
Can I match it across several lamps of different sizes?
Yes. Satin black is offered for 15cm, 17cm and 22cm shade heights as well, so a mixed set of lamps can share the same finish.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a one year warranty.
