Woodview Street Brass Lamp

The brushed brass plating provides a durable protective layer for the metal frame. In humid or coastal environments where salt air can be a factor, metal and crystal materials are often superior to wood, as they do not warp or swell. We recommend regular cleaning to prevent moisture and minerals from settling on the surface, ensuring the finish remains bright and free from corrosion for years to come.

Stability is a hallmark of this design. It is built with a thick crystal foot, which provides a heavy, low center of gravity to keep the lamp from tipping over easily. The metal construction of the stand and shade adds to its overall durability, making it a safer and more resilient option for high-traffic areas or busy family rooms compared to lighter-weight ceramic or glass lamps.

A lamp's height should be proportional to the surface it sits on; a common design rule is that the lamp should be about 1.5 times the height of the table. At 34 inches, this lamp is well-scaled for larger end tables and bedside nightstands. Because this specific model features an adjustable height, you have the added benefit of being able to fine-tune the light source so the bottom of the shade sits at eye level while you are seated, which helps prevent glare.

To maintain the luster of the brushed brass plating and the clarity of the crystal base, our care guidelines recommend regular dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth. For more thorough cleaning, you can use a cloth lightly dampened with mild soap and water. It is important to avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can strip the protective finish of the brass and cause clouding on the crystal surface.

This lamp is an excellent choice for a home office or a reading nook. Unlike fabric shades that diffuse light throughout a room, the metal bell shade is designed to direct light exactly where you need it. The pivoting shade and adjustable-height stand provide specialized task lighting, allowing you to focus the beam on documents or a laptop screen to reduce eye strain during work.

This lamp is designed as a transitional piece, meaning it bridges the gap between different design eras. The brushed brass finish offers a warmth that complements traditional and vintage furniture, while the thick crystal base and pivoting metal bell shade provide the clean, architectural lines sought after in contemporary and modern spaces. It is a versatile choice for those looking to create a curated, "mixed-material" aesthetic.
