Know before you buy
This lamp is quite substantial, standing 35.75 inches tall with a 20-inch width. Ensure your console or side table is deep enough to accommodate the 20-inch footprint comfortably.
The fixture uses three E26 keyless sockets. Bulbs are not included, so you will need to purchase three E26 bulbs, each with a maximum wattage of 40 watts.
No, the Gustavian Lantern is not dimmable. It is designed for standard on-off operation via the corded electric power source.
The natural paper shade softens the output from the three bulbs, creating a warm, diffused glow. It is ideal for ambient lighting in a living room or study rather than focused task lighting.
Polished nickel is a reflective, high-shine finish. To keep it looking its best, wipe it down occasionally with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints or dust.
