Severn Drive Gold Lamp

Yes, this lamp is an excellent solution for urban living or compact spaces. With a footprint of just 15 inches in width and depth, it fits comfortably on narrow entryway consoles or smaller apartment-scale nightstands without overwhelming the surface. Its reflective gold mercury finish also helps bounce light around the room, which can make a smaller space feel brighter and more open.

The drum shape of the fabric shade is designed to provide a balanced mix of functional lighting. It allows for an even distribution of light through the top and bottom of the shade while the beige fabric softly diffuses the light outwards. This creates a warm, ambient glow that is ideal for traditional or transitional living rooms and foyers where you want an inviting atmosphere.

For this specific item, partial assembly typically involves the simple task of securing the lampshade to the base. This generally includes attaching the harp to the saddle, placing the fabric drum shade over the harp, and securing it with the finial. No specialized tools are required, making it easy to set up and enjoy immediately upon delivery.

This lamp features a sophisticated gold foil mercury finish, which is achieved by layering metallic foil within the glass base to create a textured, reflective depth. To preserve the integrity of this delicate finish, our care experts recommend avoiding harsh chemicals or glass cleaners. Instead, maintain its luster by dusting regularly with a dry, soft microfiber cloth. For deeper cleaning, a very slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry one.

While the bottle-shaped base provides a sturdy and balanced foundation, the primary material is glass. In high-traffic areas or homes with pets and small children, we recommend placing the lamp on a stable, wide surface like a console table or a heavy end table where it is less likely to be bumped. The 15-inch width of the base helps with stability, but as with all glass accents, it should be positioned securely away from the table's edge.

Standing at 23 inches tall, this lamp is a versatile size that works well in multiple settings. For optimal visual balance, a lamp should generally be about 1.5 times the height of the table it sits on. This 23-inch height is particularly well-suited for bedside nightstands or smaller side tables, as it keeps the light source at a comfortable level for reading while seated or lying down, minimizing glare.
