This is a substantial piece standing 39 inches tall with a 20-inch wide shade. It is best suited for a large side table, a console, or a dedicated accent area where its height can be fully appreciated.

Yes, the lamp includes the classic linen shade as pictured. It is sized specifically to complement the scale of the ceramic base and provide diffused ambient light.
