Queensferry Beige Lamp

Proportionality is essential for both style and functional lighting. Standing at 31 inches tall, this lamp is a standard-to-tall height that excels on living room end tables or larger bedside chests. An expert rule of thumb is to ensure the bottom of the lampshade is approximately at eye level when you are seated; this specific height helps prevent bulb glare while providing a broad spread of ambient light for reading or conversation.

As this item requires customer assembly, you will typically need to attach the harp to the saddle, sit the linen drum shade on top, and secure it with the finial. This minor assembly ensures that the delicate glass base and the structured linen shade are protected by specialized packaging during the shipping process, arriving at your home in pristine condition.

The weathered gold finish is specifically designed for versatility in contemporary and transitional spaces. Because the finish has a "worn" appearance with opal-shaded undertones, it is less reflective than polished brass. This allows it to coordinate seamlessly in a "mixed metal" environment, sitting comfortably alongside matte black hardware or brushed nickel accents without creating a visual clash.

This lamp is an excellent "statement piece" for urban living. While it features a substantial urn-inspired design, its 18-inch diameter drum shade provides a classic silhouette that doesn't feel overly bulky. The 31-inch height is particularly effective in smaller rooms with high ceilings, as it draws the eye upward and fills vertical space on a console or entry table without requiring a massive horizontal footprint.

To preserve the crisp appearance of the beige linen drum shade, our care recommendations include using a lint roller or the soft brush attachment of a vacuum to gently remove dust. For the glass base, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to maintain the weathered gold finish. We advise against using harsh chemical cleaners, as they can strip the delicate opal and gold treatments that provide the piece with its unique, aged character.

This lamp features a pedestal base designed for balanced weight distribution. While the urn shape provides a lower center of gravity than many thin-necked lamps, the base material is glass. For homes with active pets, we recommend placing the lamp on a heavy, stable surface—such as a solid wood end table—to ensure it remains secure during daily household activity.
