The Wendy Creek lamp features a ribbed ceramic finished in a two-tone pearlescent ivory and rust brown glaze, accented with plated brushed antiqued gold details and a thick crystal foot. The round hardback drum shade is a light oatmeal linen fabric with natural slubbing. Due to the nature of fired glazes on ceramic lamps, finishes will vary slightly. Partial assembly may be required.

Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
How does the "natural slubbing" in the linen shade affect the quality of light?
Natural slubbing refers to the slight, intentional irregularities and thick-and-thin yarns found in high-quality linen. In this round hardback drum shade, these textures create a beautiful, organic look when the lamp is off. When illuminated, the slubbing diffuses the light, breaking up the glow to create a warm, textured ambiance that is much softer and more inviting than a standard synthetic shade.
Is a ceramic base a stable and durable choice for a high-traffic living room?
Yes, this lamp is constructed with a substantial ceramic pedestal base, which offers natural weight and stability. The addition of a thick crystal foot not only enhances the contemporary aesthetic but also provides a sturdy foundation that helps prevent tipping. While the fired ceramic glaze is highly durable and resistant to fading, it is a premium material that should be handled with care to avoid chipping in very high-activity households with pets or small children.
What is the best way to clean and maintain a linen lampshade like this one?
To preserve the light oatmeal linen fabric and its natural slubbing, we recommend regular dusting with a clean, soft cloth or a vacuum attachment with a brush tool. For minor spots, our care guidelines suggest blotting gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent; however, avoid saturating the fabric or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the delicate fibers or the hardback frame.
How do I know if this lamp is the right height for my end table or nightstand?
Standing at 29.75 inches tall, this lamp is ideally sized for most standard end tables and nightstands. Our design experts recommend a "rule of thumb" where the total height of the lamp should be roughly 1.5 times the height of the surface it sits on. This height ensures that the bottom of the drum shade remains at eye level while you are seated or reclining, providing optimal illumination for reading without causing a direct glare from the bulb.
Would this lamp style work well in a coastal or humid environment?
The Wendy Creek lamp is an excellent choice for a variety of climates. The ceramic base is naturally resistant to the moisture and salt air that can sometimes affect metal finishes in coastal regions. Furthermore, the plated brushed antiqued gold details are designed for lasting brilliance. To maintain the finish in humid areas, we recommend a quick wipe-down with a dry, lint-free cloth during your regular cleaning routine to prevent dust and moisture buildup.
Does this lamp require any assembly upon delivery?
This item requires partial assembly. Generally, this involves simple steps such as attaching the shade, securing the harp, and installing a lightbulb. Because it is a delicate accessory featuring ceramic and crystal, we recommend following the included instructions carefully to ensure all components are properly aligned and the shade sits level.
