Fatima Place Gray Lamp

Proportions are essential for a well-designed room. Standing at 25.5 inches tall, this lamp is ideally sized for standard end tables or nightstands. A general rule for visual balance is that the bottom of the lampshade should sit at roughly eye level when you are seated. This ensures the light provides ample coverage for reading while shielding your eyes from direct glare.

This lamp features a base constructed from brass, a material highly valued in furniture design for its exceptional durability and natural weight. Unlike lightweight plastic or thin metal alternatives, a brass base provides significant stability. This inherent weight acts as a counter-balance to the drum shade, making the lamp much less likely to tip over during everyday use.

With a width and depth of 16 inches, this lamp offers a significant presence without consuming excessive surface area. Its vertical design makes it a smart choice for urban apartments or narrow console tables where space is at a premium. It provides the light coverage of a larger fixture while maintaining a compact footprint that leaves plenty of room for your essentials.

The handcrafted, textured finish of this lamp—featuring a blend of neutral grays, taupe, and rust brown accents—adds a layer of organic "warmth" to your decor. In transitional or modern spaces, these textures break up smooth surfaces, providing visual depth. The off-white fabric shade with natural slubbing further diffuses light softly, creating a cozy, inviting ambiance rather than a harsh, sterile glow.

To preserve the handcrafted appearance of the fabric drum shade, we recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth or a lint roller to gently lift surface debris from the natural slubbing. For the base, a soft microfiber cloth is sufficient to maintain the antique brushed brass finish. Based on our material care expertise, you should avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasives, as these can strip the protective coating from the hardware.

Stability is a primary safety consideration for busy households. Because this lamp is built with a solid brass base, it carries more inherent weight than many standard lamps, creating a lower center of gravity. This makes it more resistant to accidental bumps from pets or active children, providing a more reliable and secure lighting solution for your common areas.
