Modern Golden Table Lamp | Frosted White Glass Globe Design In A Single or Double Globe Form

A frosted globe on a brass stem is one of those combinations that has never really dated, because neither element is doing anything fashionable. The glass hides the source completely so nothing glares at reading height, and the brass warms the light escaping around it before it reaches the surface below, which is what makes brass a better frame for a globe than chrome or plain steel.

Single and double versions do different jobs. The single globe stands fifty centimetres tall and is the more upright, formal of the two, suiting a console table, a sideboard or a desk where height is not a problem. The double is slightly shorter at forty five and spreads its light wider, which makes it the better choice on a bedside or beside a reading chair.

Buy it now and set it on a level surface with the one hundred and fifty centimetre cord routed clear of the edge. It takes an E27 bulb which is not included, so the warmth of the light is your decision, and it runs at two hundred and twenty to two hundred and forty volts. Let the glass cool fully before handling it, and clean it with a soft dry cloth rather than a household spray.
