Know before you buy
The Athens Lamp features a solid brass dimmer socket designed for use with dimmable bulbs. To ensure smooth performance and avoid flickering, we recommend using a high-quality dimmable LED or incandescent bulb.
The ceramic base can be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth. For the Lucite base, use a microfiber cloth and a mild glass cleaner if necessary, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges that could scratch the surface.
The Athens Lamp is designed primarily for ambient lighting, casting a soft, diffused glow through the fabric shade. While the dimmer allows you to increase brightness, it is best suited as an accent piece rather than a primary task light for focused reading.
The lamp comes complete with the white fabric shade as shown. It is specifically scaled to complement the 16-inch ceramic body and achieve the total height of 26.5 inches.
Because each piece is crafted by Paul Schneider Ceramics, the dappled pattern is unique to every lamp. You can expect slight variations in the glaze application, which adds to the artisanal character of the piece.
