Know before you buy
This lamp uses an E26 base bulb with a maximum wattage of 40W. Please note that it is not compatible with dimmer switches.
While bone china is known for its delicate, translucent appearance, it is a durable ceramic material. Each shade is handcrafted in Stoke-on-Trent using traditional techniques, ensuring a high-quality finish that is sturdy enough for everyday indoor use.
No, this lamp has an IP20 rating, which means it is designed strictly for dry indoor environments. It should not be placed in bathrooms or areas where it may come into contact with moisture.
To clean the bone china shade, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp microfiber cloth. For the satin brass metalwork, use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
The Hector 30 is hand-assembled in Oxford, UK, and arrives ready for use. You will simply need to install the appropriate E26 bulb and plug it into a standard 120V outlet.
