Katherina Alley White Lamp

Ceramic is a preferred material in contemporary lighting for its exceptional durability and the way it holds rich, artistic textures. This specific base features an "aged" white finish with an organic grid design, offering a modern take on old-world styles. Unlike lighter materials, the ceramic construction provides a substantial feel and weight that contributes to the overall longevity and high-end aesthetic of the piece.

With a width and depth of 17 inches, this lamp offers a significant visual presence without requiring an oversized footprint. Its drum shade provides a clean, vertical profile that works effectively in smaller urban living spaces or on narrow entryway console tables. The pedestal design allows it to sit comfortably on various surfaces while providing enough height to act as a primary light source for a corner or reading nook.

Yes, the design of this lamp prioritizes stability. It features a sturdy pedestal-style base set upon a thick crystal foot. The weight of the ceramic combined with the broad, heavy crystal base provides a lower center of gravity, making it much more resistant to tipping or being accidentally knocked over compared to lamps with narrower or lighter-weight foundations.

To achieve a balanced look, a common design principle is to choose a lamp that is approximately 1.5 times the height of the table it sits on. At 26.5 inches tall, this lamp is ideally suited for most standard end tables (20–24 inches) and nightstands. Our expertise suggests that for reading or relaxing, the bottom of the shade should be roughly at eye level when you are seated or lying down to provide optimal illumination without causing a direct glare.

This item is designed for easy setup, though partial assembly may be required to secure the shade and the harp. As noted in our logistical guidelines, while our full-service delivery team handles the heavy lifting for most large furniture items, table lamps are typically excluded from driver assembly. The process is straightforward and allows you to have your new lighting feature ready to use within minutes of unboxing.

Linen is a high-quality, breathable fabric that beautifully diffuses light for a soft, inviting glow. To maintain its crisp white appearance, we recommend regular dusting with a clean, soft cloth or a vacuum attachment with a light brush. Based on our material care guidelines, for minor spots, you can gently blot the fabric with a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent, ensuring the shade is completely dry before turning the lamp back on to prevent water spots.
