Au Courant Silver Table Lamp

At 30 inches tall, this lamp is a versatile height that works well in both living rooms and bedrooms. For the most comfortable experience, our design experts recommend following the "eye-level rule": when seated on your sofa or bed, the bottom of the lampshade should be roughly at your eye level. This ensures the 15-inch drum shade provides ample light for the area without the bulb creating a direct glare in your eyes.

The base is constructed from durable metal with a brushed silver finish, which is more resistant to the chipping often seen in painted ceramic lamps. In humid or coastal environments where salt air can be a factor, we recommend a routine dusting with a dry, soft microfiber cloth to prevent moisture from sitting on the surface, ensuring the sleek contemporary finish maintains its luster over time.

Stability is a key advantage of this metal construction. The pedestal base is weighted to support the 15-inch wide drum shade, making it more stable and less prone to tipping than lightweight plastic or thin glass lamps. While no table lamp is completely tip-proof, the solid metal material provides the necessary heft for high-traffic areas in a busy home.

This lamp is an excellent solution for urban apartment living or smaller spaces. The pedestal base design offers a significantly smaller footprint on your tabletop compared to bulky round bases, leaving more room for essentials like your phone or a remote. Despite its compact footprint, the 30-inch height provides a strong vertical presence that can help make a room with lower ceilings feel more expansive.

Yes, this lamp is designed for multi-functional use. It features a 3-way switch and supports a maximum 150-watt bulb (not included), which is significantly brighter than standard decorative lamps. This allows you to toggle between a high setting for focused task lighting—ideal for reading—and lower settings to create a soft, warm atmosphere in the evening.

To keep the white linen looking crisp and bright, our care guidelines recommend regular dusting with a clean lint roller or a soft vacuum brush attachment. Because linen is a natural fiber, it is best to avoid liquid cleaners which can cause water spotting; for most maintenance, a simple dry dusting will prevent dust from becoming embedded in the fabric weave.
