Know before you buy
Yes, the lamp is designed for dual use. Its compact 16.9-inch height makes it suitable for placement on side tables, consoles, or directly on the floor as a low-profile accent piece.
The shade is made from traditional mulberry paper, which is known for its durability and unique texture. While it is lightweight and delicate in appearance, it is sturdy enough for standard indoor use, though it should be kept away from direct moisture and sharp objects.
The lamp is compatible with E26/E27 base bulbs with a maximum wattage of 40W. We recommend using a warm-toned LED bulb to best complement the soft, diffused glow of the paper shade.
No, the Salvatore 1A is not dimmable. It operates via a simple push-button switch, providing a consistent, ambient light output.
To maintain the shade, gently dust it with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a feather duster. Avoid using water or liquid cleaning agents, as these can damage the paper material.
