Know before you buy
While the lamp retains its authentic vintage character, the wiring has been professionally updated to meet modern safety standards, ensuring it is ready for immediate use.
This lamp uses an E14 bulb with a maximum wattage of 25W. We recommend using a warm-toned LED bulb to complement the vintage aesthetic while keeping energy consumption low.
To preserve the natural patina on the brass, avoid using harsh metal polishes. Simply dust the brass and glass gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
Yes, the lamp features its original push-button switch, which has been tested and remains fully functional as part of the lamp's authentic design.
At 8.25 inches tall, this piece is perfectly scaled for smaller surfaces like bedside tables, narrow console tables, or as a decorative accent on a desk.
