Collingwood Gold Lamp

The round hardback drum shade is crafted from white linen fabric featuring "light slubbing." This natural linen texture diffuses light beautifully, creating a soft, warm ambient glow rather than a harsh, direct beam. This makes it an excellent choice for a living room or "special room setting" where you want to create a cozy, inviting atmosphere for relaxing or entertaining.

To preserve the hand-finished antiqued gold, we recommend dusting the metal base regularly with a dry, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or polishes, as these can strip the delicate hand-applied patina. For the linen shade, a simple lint roller or a soft-bristle vacuum attachment is the most effective way to remove dust from the fabric slubbing without damaging the material.

This lamp features a metal base with a "heavily antiqued" gold finish that is applied by hand. Metal construction offers superior durability and weight compared to resin or plastic alternatives, ensuring the lamp remains stable over time. Because the finish is hand-applied, each piece possesses a unique, artisanal character that adds a layer of sophisticated texture to your room's decor.

Standing at 37 inches tall, this is considered a "tall table lamp" or "buffet lamp," which is significantly taller than the standard 24- to 30-inch models. For the best visual balance, it is ideal for lower end tables, entry consoles, or dining room sideboards. A key design principle is ensuring the bottom of the shade is at eye level when seated; at this height, the lamp provides a dramatic vertical element that works exceptionally well in contemporary spaces with high ceilings.

The metal construction provides the necessary heft for stability, making it less prone to tipping than lightweight alternatives. However, because of its 37-inch height, our experts recommend placing it on a sturdy, level surface—such as a heavy accent table or a solid console—to ensure it remains secure in high-traffic areas or homes with active pets.

Yes, the metal base is inherently more resistant to the moisture-related warping or swelling that can affect wood lamps in humid environments. While the gold finish is durable, we recommend regular dusting to prevent salt or moisture buildup from dulling the metallic sheen over time, particularly in coastal homes.

Yes, customer assembly is required for this lamp. This typically involves securing the "drapery-inspired" base components and attaching the hardback drum shade to the harp. The process is straightforward and designed to ensure all components are tightly fitted for maximum stability once the lamp is placed in your room.
