Desert Hills Gray Lamp

This lamp features a round hardback shade made of light khaki linen with heavy slubbing. Linen is a natural fiber known for its beautiful texture and its ability to diffuse light softly and evenly. The khaki tone warms the light, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere, while the "hardback" construction ensures the shade maintains its crisp, circular shape over time.

For most side tables and end tables, a height of 24 to 30 inches is generally recommended to keep the light source at eye level while seated. This 32-inch lamp is on the taller side, making it an excellent choice for a larger living room or a foyer console where it can act as a significant visual anchor. Its height ensures it stands out alongside larger sofas or high-backed accent chairs.

Ceramic is a highly stable and durable material, prized in home decor for its weight and artisanal quality. The pedestal base of this lamp is made of fired ceramic, which provides a sturdy foundation that is less likely to tip over compared to lighter materials. Additionally, because these lamps feature fired glazes, each piece possesses unique, subtle variations in the aged gray finish, giving your home a one-of-a-kind accent.

When choosing lighting for a busy household, stability is a primary safety concern. The ceramic construction of this 32-inch lamp provides significant weight and a low center of gravity at the pedestal base, making it more resistant to being accidentally knocked over by active pets or children. However, as it is a ceramic item, it should be placed on a sturdy, level surface away from high-traffic edges.

Based on our expertise with these materials, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth to maintain the luster of the aged gray finish. For the embossed decorative design, a soft-bristled brush can gently remove dust from the textured crevices. The linen shade should be cleaned periodically using a vacuum brush attachment or a lint roller to prevent dust from settling into the fabric’s heavy slubbing.

Yes, some customer assembly is required for this item. Like many of our high-quality table lamps, this helps ensure the components—including the heavily antiqued brass plated base and the round hardback shade—arrive safely at your home. Detailed assembly instructions are provided to guide you through the simple setup process.
