Know before you buy
Yes, the sandstone ceramic base is an authentic piece dating back to the 1960s. While the base is vintage, the lamp has been professionally re-wired and fitted with a new linen shade to ensure it meets modern safety and aesthetic standards.
This lamp uses a standard E26 base bulb. We recommend using an LED bulb with a wattage equivalent of 60W or higher to provide sufficient illumination for the scale of the piece.
The intricate cut-out details on the sides of the amphora base allow for subtle light diffusion. When the lamp is on, these openings create soft, decorative shadows that add depth and visual interest to the surrounding area.
As a ceramic piece, the base has a substantial, solid feel characteristic of sandstone. While it is durable, it should be handled with care to avoid chipping the textured, bubbled surface.
The lamp arrives with the base and shade separate. You will simply need to attach the new linen shade to the fixture, which is a straightforward process that requires no tools.
