Know before you buy
Yes, the lamp is crafted from solid, hand-carved limestone, which provides a substantial and sturdy weight to the base, ensuring it remains stable on side tables or consoles.
This lamp uses an E12 base bulb. We recommend using an LED bulb of 40W equivalent or higher to achieve the best light output while maintaining energy efficiency.
Yes, the lamp has been professionally re-wired to meet modern safety standards, making it ready for immediate use in any standard home outlet.
The lamp includes a new ivory linen shade, but it can be replaced. Because the lamp uses a standard E12 base, you can swap the shade for another style as long as the fitter is compatible with the lamp's hardware.
Limestone is a porous natural stone. It is best to dust the base regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or water, which could stain or damage the vintage finish.
