Know before you buy
This lamp is designed to use an appliance-sized bulb, which is typically smaller than a standard household bulb. You can easily find these at most hardware or home goods stores.
As a genuine vintage item, the lamp features minor surface wear consistent with its age. These small imperfections are part of its history and contribute to the authentic, lived-in character of the piece.
The eyeball design allows you to tilt and pivot the shade, making it perfect for directing light exactly where you need it. It provides a focused beam rather than ambient room lighting.
The goldtone finish is original to the piece and has developed a unique patina over time. We recommend cleaning it gently with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its appearance without damaging the vintage surface.
Yes, the lamp is designed with a compact, weighted base that provides stability for desktop or bedside use. Its small footprint ensures it won't take up too much space while you work or read.
