Medium Table Lamp with Faceted Crystal-Style Base and Brass Finish

The faceted crystal-style base is what this lamp is really about — a cut-glass urn shape that catches and refracts the light from above, so the lamp has presence even before you switch it on. Combined with the brass finish stem and base and a cream drum shade, it sits in the traditional-to-classic register rather than the modern one, which makes it a good match for a room with wooden furniture, upholstered headboards or gold-toned fittings. The shade diffuses the light into a soft pool rather than a glare, which is exactly what you want at a bedside or on a console. Usable on a bedside table, console, study desk or living room side table, and its simplified silhouette means it does not fight whatever is already in the room.

Specifications

Buying guide

We stock two medium table lamps in this style, and it is worth knowing the difference because the source listings are otherwise identical: this one has a faceted crystal-style urn base, while the other has a beaded tapered cone base. Both carry brass-tone metalwork and a cream drum shade, so choose on which base you prefer. Beyond that, the usual lamp rules apply: set it so the bottom of the shade sits roughly at eye level when you are seated or in bed, since higher glares and lower lights the table rather than your book. Use a warm-white bulb around 2700K — cool white makes a bedroom feel clinical — and a moderate wattage for ambience rather than the brightest you can fit. Dust the shade regularly, and let bulbs cool before changing them.

How it compares

Against our other medium table lamp, that has a beaded tapered base where this has a faceted crystal-style urn — same brass-and-cream palette, different base. Compared with the iron art floor lamp, that has three switchable colour modes and needs no surface. Against the rechargeable touch lamps, those go where there is no socket but give less output. Against a ceiling light, a table lamp gives soft light at eye height, which is what makes a room feel warm.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from your other medium table lamp?
The base. This one is a faceted crystal-style urn; the other is a beaded tapered cone. Both have brass-tone metalwork and a cream drum shade, so choose on the base you prefer.

What bulb should I use?
Warm white around 2700K at a moderate wattage. Cool white makes a bedroom feel clinical, and maximum brightness defeats the point of a shaded lamp.

How high should it sit?
With the bottom of the shade roughly at eye level when seated or in bed — higher glares, lower lights the table rather than your book.
