Description

A table lamp where the shade will rotate to allow you to direct light in whatever direction you wish. A heavy brass base makes this lamp really stable and substantial, yet supremely elegant and a little unusual. It would look fabulous on a kitchen worktop or by the bed, there is something easy and satisfying about having a good selection of table lamps around your home. They add more atmosphere to a room than anything else, they really do. A good table lamp is so important.

  • a creamware ceramic shade
  • a tubular brass frame and base
  • an articulated E26 lampholder with cuff
  • a black in-line switch, 1.5 feet from the base
  • 8 feet of burgundy twisted flex cord
  • a black three pin mains plug
     

Bulb not included - 60W max

The Grand Tour Collection

We love this remarkable time in history, a kind of prelude to the slightly less exotic ‘gap year’ of today.

What an experience a young gentleman would have in the late 17th to early 19th century if he was from a wealthy family. He would spend several years, after his formal education was done, travelling through Europe with his entourage. Beginning in Dover and spending considerable time in Paris and Switzerland, travelling through the Alps and onto the cultural mecca of Italy. Learning languages and the importance of art and culture was the goal, bringing back marble statues, paintings, and an eye for exotic design. Their newfound knowledge influenced the design of everything from houses to objects when they finally returned to the British Isles.

Our Grand Tour collection of lights is inspired by this fascinating time in history when unusual and unique styles merged. Sophisticated, beautifully crafted and made to reflect the importance of quality and style.
