Description
The Vellmere floor lamp stands 1420mm tall with a clear glass globe shade held out on an antique brass arm, so the bulb is visible through the glass and the light spreads in every direction. The base and arm take up 240mm by 340mm on the floor, which is a small footprint for a lamp of this height. One E27 lampholder takes a 10W LED bulb, and because the glass is clear the choice of bulb shows, so a decorative LED with a warm filament look suits it well. At 6.8kg the lamp is properly weighted, and the IP20 rating keeps it to dry indoor rooms.
We would put this floor light beside an armchair, at the end of a sofa, or in a reading corner where the ceiling light does not reach. The globe sits above seated eye level rather than in it, and clear glass gives a brighter, more open light than a fabric shade. Antique brass is a warm darkened metal that suits wood floors, deep paint colours and older rooms, and it works as an accent in a plainer modern space. The narrow base slides in beside furniture where a wide drum shade would not fit.
The stem, base and shade holder are metal in an antique brass finish, meant to look aged rather than bright, and the globe is clear glass. Wipe the glass with a barely damp cloth and dry it at once, since clear glass shows dust and water marks quickly, and dust the brass with a dry soft cloth while keeping sprays and creams off the finish. It is a Class 2 fitting and plugs into a standard socket, so no wiring work is needed. The Vellmere range also runs to matching pendants if you want the same clear glass globe overhead.

Frequently Asked
How tall is it and how much floor does it need?
1420mm tall, with a footprint of 240mm by 340mm.
What is the shade made from?
Clear glass, on a metal stem and base finished in antique brass.
Which bulb does it take?
One E27 screw cap bulb at 10W in LED. Clear glass leaves the bulb on show, so a decorative LED works well.
Does it plug in?
Yes. It is a plug in floor lamp for a standard socket, with no wiring work needed.
Is it dimmable?
It is not dimmable, so we would use it switched.
How do I clean the glass?
A barely damp cloth, dried straight away to avoid water marks. No sprays or abrasives.
