Know before you buy
This fixture uses a single A19 bulb with an E26 medium base. It supports up to 100 watts, allowing for a range of brightness options depending on your preferred bulb choice.
The shade is made of opal, matte glass. It is designed to diffuse light softly, providing a warm, even glow that minimizes glare.
The Stratford is UL certified for safety, but it is not specifically rated for damp or wet environments. It is best suited for dry interior spaces like libraries, studies, or hallways.
The fixture measures 10 inches wide by 10 inches deep and 11 inches high. Given its demi-dome shape and projection, ensure you have enough clearance in your chosen spot to accommodate its 10-inch depth.
The brass construction is durable and designed for longevity. To maintain the finish, simply dust it periodically with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the metal surface.
