Description
The Sparrowmere table lamp sets a deep teal fabric shade inside a double hoop frame finished in gold leaf, so the shade reads as though it is floating between the two rings. It stands 660mm tall and measures 380mm across, so it works as a generous table light rather than a small accent piece, and the 4.1kg body keeps it planted on a console, sideboard or bedside chest. Because the drum is open at the top and bottom, light falls down onto the surface below and lifts up through the frame instead of firing only forwards. One E27 lamp does the work, rated up to 10W in LED, and the fitting is IP20 for dry indoor rooms.
We like this one in a living room, on a console in a wide hallway, or in a pair either side of a bed where you want height without much bulk. Teal is a confident colour that sits well against warm neutrals, oak, walnut and dusty pink, while the gold leaf frame stops the whole thing reading as cold. It suits anyone furnishing a contemporary room who wants a table lamp with some structure to it, and it holds its own in a home office or on a deep windowsill where a shorter lamp would disappear.
The frame is metal, finished in gold leaf so the tone shifts a little across the rings, and the shade is fabric over a rigid frame. Dust the metal with a dry soft cloth and lift dust from the shade using a soft brush or a vacuum on low suction, keeping water and solvent cleaners away from both. Change the lamp only once the fitting has cooled and the switch is off. The wider Sparrowmere range runs to wall lights and pendants, and this table lamp also comes in silver leaf if you would rather have a cooler metal against the teal.

Frequently Asked
What is the shade made from?
It is a fabric shade in a deep teal, fitted over a rigid frame and held between two gold leaf metal hoops.
How do I clean the Sparrowmere table lamp?
Wipe the gold leaf metal with a dry soft cloth and lift dust from the fabric with a soft brush or a vacuum on low suction. Avoid water, polishes and solvent cleaners.
How big is it?
It is 660mm tall and 380mm in diameter, so allow a surface at least 400mm deep and check the height suits the seating around it.
Which bulb does it take?
One E27 screw fit lamp rated up to 10W in LED. A warm white lamp flatters the teal fabric best.
Can I use it in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor use, so keep it to living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and studies.
