Gord Point Teal Lamp

Yes, ceramic is an ideal material for coastal environments. Unlike certain metals that can corrode or tarnish in salty air, or wood that may warp in high humidity, the glazed ceramic base of this lamp is naturally non-porous and resistant to moisture. This durability ensures the deep teal finish and hand-carved details remain pristine even in damp or seaside conditions.

Because this lamp features organic vertical lines, dust can sometimes accumulate within the hand-carved grooves. We recommend regular maintenance using a soft, dry microfiber cloth to whisk away debris. For the glazed surface, a lightly dampened cloth with mild soap can be used for occasional deep cleaning. To protect the integrity of the finish, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, particularly near the brushed nickel accents.

With a height of 30.5 inches, this lamp is a substantial piece that works best on standard-sized end tables or console tables. Our design experts recommend a "rule of thumb" where the lamp should be approximately 1.5 times the height of the table it sits on. Placing this lamp on a 20- to 24-inch surface ensures the bottom of the drum shade is at eye level when you are seated, providing optimal light for reading without the glare of the bulb.

This lamp features a white fabric drum shade, which is known for its balanced light distribution. Because the drum shape is wide and open at both the top and bottom, it allows light to reflect off the ceiling for ambient room illumination while directing a focused "wash" of light downward. This makes it a versatile choice for both creating a cozy atmosphere and providing functional task lighting for a workspace or reading nook.

This item requires partial assembly, which typically includes securing the harp to the base, placing the shade, and tightening the finial. These steps are designed to be simple and can be completed in just a few minutes, ensuring your lamp is safely secured and perfectly leveled for immediate use.

This lamp is finished with a stunning deep teal glaze that is fired at high temperatures. This process creates a finish that is much more resistant to UV fading than traditional painted or dyed bases. While we always recommend rotating your decor to ensure even exposure in very sun-drenched rooms, the high-quality glazed ceramic is built to retain its vibrant, rich color for many years.
