Carson Way Brass Lamp

At 31.25 inches tall, this is considered a high-profile table lamp. Our design experts recommend following the "1.5 rule": the lamp should be roughly 1.5 times the height of the table it sits on. This specific piece is exceptionally well-suited for larger living room end tables or a console table in an entryway, where its height can create a dramatic focal point without overwhelming the space.

While many bedside lamps range from 24 to 28 inches, this lamp’s 31.25-inch height makes it a bold choice for the bedroom. It works best on lower nightstands or when paired with a taller headboard to maintain visual balance. For the best ergonomic experience, ensure the bottom of the shade sits approximately at your eye level when you are sitting up in bed to prevent glare while reading.

The round hardback drum shade is crafted from white linen fabric featuring unique white slubbing. Linen is highly regarded in lighting design for its ability to diffuse light softly and evenly, reducing harsh glares. This creates a warm, inviting ambient glow, making the lamp an excellent choice for a "cozy" living room or a reading nook where a gentle, atmospheric light is preferred.

Based on our furniture care expertise, we recommend dusting the glass column and hammered antique brass base regularly with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. To preserve the textured finish, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasives. For deeper cleaning of the glass, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water can be used, provided the surface is dried immediately to prevent water spots or tarnishing of the metal finish.

The hammered texture and antique brass tones bridge the gap between contemporary elegance and industrial grit. This lamp is a perfect companion for rooms featuring reclaimed wood, exposed metal accents, or modern leather furniture. It serves as a sophisticated transitional piece that can ground a modern "suburban" home or add a touch of refined texture to an urban apartment.

The hammered antique brass texture is specifically designed to interact with both natural and artificial light. During the day, the multi-faceted surface catches sunlight to create a subtle shimmer. At night, the light from the bulb reflects off the indentations in the metal, adding a sense of depth and artisanal craftsmanship that a smooth finish cannot provide.
