Mansur Moor Black Lamp

Yes. The hardback shade is covered in a crisp white linen fabric specifically chosen for its ability to diffuse light evenly. While the black ceramic base provides a bold mid-century modern aesthetic, the white shade ensures the light remains bright and clean. For task-oriented activities like reading or video calls in a home office, we recommend pairing this lamp with an LED bulb of approximately 800 lumens (60-watt equivalent) to reduce eye strain while maintaining a warm, inviting atmosphere.

This lamp is designed with stability in mind, featuring a pedestal-style base that centers its weight. The base is further reinforced by a plated antique brass tapered foot, which provides a sturdy foundation. While ceramic is a premium, durable material, it can be sensitive to heavy impacts; however, the weighted metal foot and the 16-inch width of the shade provide a low center of gravity that makes it more resistant to tipping than lighter, all-plastic alternatives.

To achieve perfect visual balance, our design experts recommend following the "rule of thumb" where the lamp is approximately 1.5 times the height of the surface it sits on. This 26-inch lamp pairs exceptionally well with side tables or nightstands that are roughly 18 to 22 inches tall. This height ensures that the bottom of the shade remains at eye level while you are seated or reclining, providing comfortable illumination for reading without the glare of an exposed bulb.

Based on our furniture care expertise, the textured black glaze on the ceramic base is best maintained by regular dusting with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, which can settle into the ribbed texture or damage the antique brass foot. For the linen shade, a simple lint roller or a soft brush attachment on a vacuum is the most effective way to remove dust and maintain the "crisp" white appearance without damaging the fabric fibers.

This lamp is an excellent choice for urban living where surface space is often at a premium. With a 16-inch depth and width, it provides a significant style statement—thanks to its mid-century modern ribbed design—without overwhelming narrow console tables or small apartment nightstands. Its vertical 26-inch presence helps draw the eye upward, making ceilings feel higher in more compact living areas, while the black and brass accents add a layer of "metropolitan" sophistication to any neutral decor.
