Yarrowdene Crystal Effect Glass Shade Floor Lamp 153cm - Silver

This floor lamp pairs a slender silver stand with a tiered shade of clear crystal effect glass, so it throws a soft sparkle into the room around it. The shade is built in three stacked rings, the middle one wider than those above and below it, each ring lined with rows of upright glass pieces that catch the light and scatter little flecks of rainbow colour. A single straight pole rises from a round, flat silver base, keeping the whole lamp tall and narrow. It stands 153cm tall and measures 34cm across, so it brings light up to head height without taking much floor space.

Being slim, it suits the corner beside a sofa or armchair in the living room, the space next to a bed or a reading nook with no side table to hold a lamp. Its clear glass and bright silver sit happily with grey, white and cool-toned schemes, and against darker walls the shade shows off its glitter. It plugs into a standard UK socket and runs on 240V, so there is nothing to wire in. We would keep it to dry rooms indoors.

The stand has a shiny silver finish from the base to the top of the pole, and the lamp comes on a black cord with a round push switch along its length, so you can turn it on and off without reaching up to the shade. To keep it looking its best, switch it off and unplug it before cleaning, then dust the glass and the stand with a soft dry cloth; a barely damp cloth lifts fingerprints from the silver, dried straight after. Set it where the base sits flat and the cord can run neatly to the socket, and try it behind a chair or at the end of a sideboard, where the glitter of the shade lifts a plain corner in the evening.
