Description
The Sparrowmere double hoop table lamp in silver leaf stands 660mm tall with a 380mm mink fabric shade held between two metal hoops. A single 10W E27 LED lamp lights it. At 4.1kg it is weighty for a table lamp, which is what keeps a tall fitting steady on a console or a sideboard. Construction is Class 2 and double insulated, and it is rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms. The hoops give the lamp a clear outline in daylight, so it holds its shape on a surface even before it is switched on.
Height is the useful quality here. A 660mm lamp puts light above the back of a sofa, over the top of books on a desk, or level with a picture on a hall console, where a shorter lamp would light only the surface it stands on. Silver leaf keeps the metal cool in tone while the mink fabric warms the light coming through it, a combination that suits grey, blue and greige rooms. We would use it as one layer in a room rather than as the main light, with a ceiling fitting or a floor lamp doing the broader work.
The frame and base are metal in a silver leaf finish and the shade is fabric in mink. Keep water away from the shade and clean it with a soft brush or a vacuum upholstery attachment, and wipe the metal with a dry cloth only, as polishes and abrasive creams will damage a leaf finish. Let the lamp cool before changing it, and lift it by the base rather than the hoops. The Sparrowmere range carries the same shade and finish through hoop wall lights and double hoop pendants, so one room can be lit end to end.

Frequently Asked
What is the shade made of?
Fabric in a mink colour, suspended between two metal hoops finished in silver leaf.
How tall is the lamp?
660mm, with a shade 380mm across. It is a tall table lamp, so check the height against a low console or a bed frame before ordering.
Which bulb does it take?
One 10W E27 LED lamp, the larger screw fitting. Allow it to cool before changing it.
Is it dimmable?
No, this table lamp runs at a fixed level. Add a dimmable fitting elsewhere in the room if you want to change the light through the evening.
How do I clean it?
Brush or vacuum the fabric shade and keep it dry. The silver leaf metal should be dusted with a dry cloth only, with no polish or cream.
Where can I use it?
Dry indoor rooms, as it is rated IP20. Sitting rooms, bedrooms, halls and studies suit it well.
