Bartlett Post Blue Lamp

Standing at 25 inches tall, this lamp is designed to provide optimal illumination for both bedrooms and living areas. When placed on a standard nightstand or end table, the height ensures the bottom of the drum shade is positioned near eye level while you are seated or reclining. This proportion is ideal for providing focused light for reading while preventing direct glare from the bulb.

To maintain the appearance of the textured ceramic, our care guidelines recommend using a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently remove dust from the recessed patterns. For the gray fabric shade, a lint roller or a vacuum with a soft brush attachment is the most effective way to remove dust without damaging the material. Avoid the use of harsh chemical cleaners, as they can compromise the finish of the ceramic over time.

The gray fabric drum shade is specifically chosen to create a sophisticated, ambient glow. Because the drum shape is open at the top and bottom but consistent in width, it directs light both upward toward the ceiling and downward for task work, while beautifully diffusing light through the sides. This makes the lamp an excellent choice for creating a cozy, relaxing atmosphere in a modern bedroom or den.

Yes, the ceramic construction of this lamp makes it exceptionally well-suited for coastal environments or regions with high humidity. Unlike many metal lamps that can corrode or rust when exposed to salt air or moisture, ceramic is a non-reactive material that maintains its structural integrity and blue finish over time. The fabric shade is also easy to maintain in various climates, provided it is kept in a climate-controlled interior.

This lamp features a round ceramic base, a material highly valued for its substantial weight and inherent stability. Unlike lighter plastic or thin metal alternatives, a solid ceramic base is less prone to tipping—a critical safety feature for households with active pets or children. Additionally, the textured finish is excellent at masking fingerprints and smudges, keeping the lamp looking pristine with minimal upkeep.

This lamp requires only partial assembly, which can be completed in just a few minutes without specialized tools. The process typically involves securing the harp to the base, placing the fabric shade, and tightening the finial. This modular design ensures the ceramic base can be packaged securely to prevent damage during the shipping process.
