Know before you buy
The ash reactive glass process creates organic, unpredictable patterns, meaning no two bases are identical. While the overall aesthetic and color palette will match the product imagery, you should expect unique variations in the glass's marbling and depth.
Yes, to utilize the 3-way functionality, you must use a 3-way Type A E26 bulb. This allows you to toggle between three different brightness levels to suit your lighting needs.
The off-white silk shade is lined with cotton for durability, but it should be handled with care. We recommend using a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a gentle dusting brush to remove debris, avoiding any liquid cleaners that could stain the fabric.
No, this lamp is not compatible with external dimmer switches. The internal 3-way rotary switch is designed to manage the light output independently.
The antique brass is a cast material with a deliberate aged finish. Like most high-quality brass accents, it is designed to maintain its character over time, but you should avoid using harsh chemical polishes that could strip the intentional patina.
At 11 pounds, the Wilhelm Lamp has a substantial weight that provides excellent stability. Its 18-inch diameter base ensures it remains secure on most standard console or side tables.
