Know before you buy
Yes, the lamp has been professionally rewired to ensure it meets modern safety and functionality standards while preserving its vintage aesthetic.
The tapered linen shade acts as a diffuser, softening the light to create a warm, inviting glow that is ideal for bedside tables or office desks.
With a base depth of 7 inches and a total width of 9.25 inches, this lamp is designed to fit comfortably on most standard-sized consoles, nightstands, and desks without occupying excessive surface area.
The brass features an authentic vintage patina consistent with its 1950s inspiration, offering a sophisticated, lived-in character rather than a high-gloss, modern finish.
The lamp is compatible with standard bulbs that fit its socket type. We recommend using an LED bulb with a warm color temperature to complement the soft light filtered through the linen shade.
