Lacera Edge Nickel Lamp

This lamp features a weighted brushed nickel column base designed for added stability. However, because the primary body is crafted from handcrafted glass, we recommend placing it on sturdy, secure furniture where it is less likely to be accidentally bumped, such as an entryway console or a sofa table. For households with pets or children, the column-style base is a strategic choice as it offers a lower center of gravity compared to more top-heavy, decorative designs.

Yes, the materials in this lamp are well-suited for various climates, including humid coastal regions. Brushed nickel is highly regarded for its durability and resistance to the tarnishing often seen with polished finishes in salty air. To maintain the lamp's contemporary luster, our care guides recommend periodically wiping the base with a soft, dry cloth and using a mild, non-abrasive cleaner for the glass components to prevent dust and moisture buildup.

The white fabric drum shade is an excellent choice for creating soft, diffused ambient lighting. The white fabric maximizes the light’s brightness, while the drum shape directs light both upward and downward, filling the room with an even, inviting glow. While it provides enough illumination for casual bedside reading, its primary strength is establishing a warm atmosphere in living spaces or entryways.

At 26 inches tall, this lamp is perfectly scaled for standard end tables and nightstands, which typically range from 20 to 24 inches in height. Based on our interior design standards, the ideal total height of a table and lamp combination should keep the bottom of the shade at eye level while you are seated. This ensures the lamp provides comfortable, functional light for reading or conversation without creating a direct glare from the bulb.

Because the clear glass on this piece is handcrafted by skilled artists, each base features subtle variations that make it a unique work of art. This technique ensures that your lighting is not just a utility, but a one-of-a-kind contemporary accent. The combination of transparent glass and a brushed nickel column base creates a light, airy aesthetic that is particularly effective in smaller rooms, as it adds style without adding visual "weight" or clutter.

This lamp requires "partial assembly," which is a straightforward process that typically involves securing the socket, attaching the harp, and leveling the drum shade. No specialized tools are required. We recommend following the included instructions carefully to ensure the shade is properly seated, which maintains the clean, symmetrical lines essential to its contemporary design.
