Shaw Alley Gold Floor Lamp

Yes. The base is crafted from solid marble, a material prized in furniture design for its natural density and significant weight. This creates a low center of gravity, making the lamp far more stable and resistant to accidental tipping than models with lightweight plastic or thin metal bases—a crucial safety feature for high-traffic areas or households with active pets and kids.

This lamp is an ideal solution for urban apartments or smaller floor plans. With a depth of just 10 inches and a slim vertical profile, it provides a high-impact design statement without a large footprint. The compact marble base allows you to tuck the lamp neatly into tight corners or behind the edge of a sectional to maximize your available living space.

Standing at 63 inches (5'3"), this lamp is designed with the "eye-level rule" in mind for standard seating. When placed next to a contemporary sofa or armchair, the globe shade is positioned to provide excellent task lighting for reading while remaining tall enough to contribute to the room's ambient glow without being overwhelmed by larger furniture pieces.

To maintain the high-end look of the contemporary finishes, our care guidelines suggest using a soft, dry microfiber cloth for routine dusting. Because marble is a natural, porous stone, it is best to avoid acidic or abrasive chemical cleaners. For the gold-finished metal shade, a dry cloth will prevent fingerprints and maintain the metallic luster without scratching the surface.

The gold metal globe shade acts as a directional light source. Unlike translucent fabric shades that diffuse light, this opaque metal shade focuses the light beam, making it highly effective for illuminating dark corners or creating a dedicated "light pool" over a workspace. For rooms without overhead lighting, we recommend pairing this lamp with other light sources to layer the brightness effectively.

This item requires partial assembly, which primarily involves connecting the vertical stem to the weighted marble base and securing the globe shade. Because of the weight of the marble base, we recommend assembling it on a soft surface like a rug to protect your floors. The process is straightforward and typically takes less than 15 minutes.
