Know before you buy
Yes, the lamp has been professionally rewired for modern use, ensuring it is safe and functional for contemporary homes while preserving its vintage character.
It uses an E12 candelabra base socket. We recommend using an LED bulb to maintain energy efficiency and prevent heat buildup inside the resin shade.
Dust the shade gently with a soft, dry cloth to avoid damaging the resin. For the brass base, use a soft microfiber cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the natural, aged patina.
No, the patina is a natural result of the lamp's age and history, which adds to its authenticity and mid-century charm. It is a characteristic feature of vintage pieces from the 1960s.
The cocoon-style resin shade is designed to diffuse light, creating a soft, ambient glow rather than a direct task light. It is best suited for creating a warm atmosphere in a living room or bedroom.
