Galina Edge Silver Lamp

This lamp is designed with stability in mind, featuring a weighted antique mercury glass column anchored by a thick, clear acrylic base. The acrylic base provides a sturdy, flat footprint that is more resistant to tipping than traditional narrow pedestals. While the glass is durable, we always recommend placing such decorative items toward the center of the table in high-traffic households to ensure maximum safety.

This lamp features a white fabric drum shade, which is expertly designed for creating soft, diffused ambient lighting. Unlike tapered shades that focus light downward, the drum shape allows light to escape evenly from the top and bottom while softening the glow through the fabric sides. This makes it a superior choice for a "cozy" living room setting or a bedroom where you want to reduce harsh shadows and create a welcoming, well-distributed light.

Antique mercury glass refers to glass that has been treated with a silvered finish between double walls, creating a mottled, highly reflective surface that mimics the look of aged silver. This specific column design provides stunning contemporary reflections, capturing and diffusing ambient light from around the room. It is an excellent choice for transitional or traditional spaces where you want to add a touch of "classy and clean" shimmer without the starkness of solid polished metal.

To preserve the "mercury" luster and the clear acrylic base, our care experts recommend using only a soft, dry microfiber cloth for regular dusting. Avoid using harsh chemical glass cleaners, as these can potentially damage the specialty finish over time. For the white fabric drum shade, a vacuum with a soft brush attachment or a simple lint roller is the safest way to remove dust and maintain its clean, crisp appearance.

This item is noted as "partial assembly required." Per our standard delivery policies, lamps are typically delivered in secure packaging to protect the glass and shade, and drivers do not perform the assembly. Setup is straightforward and usually involves simply attaching the harp and shade and securing the finial, allowing you to quickly integrate the piece into your decor.

When styling for smaller urban spaces, the "shade rule" is essential: the lampshade should not extend past the edge of the tabletop. With a 16-inch diameter, this lamp is best suited for tables at least 18 to 20 inches wide. For narrow entryways or compact bedside setups, we recommend measuring your surface area beforehand to ensure the drum shade remains centered and balanced without obstructing walkways.

A 28-inch height is a classic, versatile choice for both living room end tables and bedroom nightstands. Based on our interior design standards, the ideal height for a table lamp is typically between 24 and 30 inches to ensure the light source remains at eye level while you are seated or reclining. If placing this on a bedside table, we recommend ensuring the bottom of the fabric shade sits roughly level with your chin to provide optimal illumination for reading without causing uncomfortable glare.
