Zeitz Sea Brass Lamp

This lamp is specifically designed for task lighting. Because it features opaque metal cone shades rather than translucent fabric, the light is focused and directed rather than diffused throughout the room. This makes it an excellent choice for a dedicated reading nook or a home office desk where you need concentrated light on a specific surface without creating a wash of ambient light that might cause glare on screens or televisions.

This lamp is an ideal solution for urban apartment living or tight entryways. With a compact footprint of just 7.25 inches, it provides dual-source illumination without occupying significant surface area. Its vertical, modern silhouette allows you to add a sophisticated design element to narrow furniture pieces, such as a hallway console or a slim nightstand, where space is at a premium.

To preserve the integrity of the metal finishes, our care guidelines recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For removing fingerprints or minor smudges, use a cloth slightly dampened with water and a drop of mild soap, then immediately buff dry with a separate clean cloth. It is critical to avoid abrasive pads or chemical polishes, as these can strip the protective coating and lead to tarnishing or discoloration of the brass shades over time.

This table lamp stands 20 inches tall, making it a versatile choice for various surfaces. As an interior design rule of thumb, a lamp should be roughly 1.5 times the height of the table it sits on to maintain visual balance. Given its 20-inch stature, this lamp is ideally proportioned for smaller end tables, desks, or nightstands approximately 14 to 16 inches high. For bedside use, this height ensures the light source remains at a comfortable level for reading while seated or reclining.

Metal components are efficient conductors of heat, so the temperature of the shades will depend largely on the bulb type used. To ensure the lamp remains cool to the touch and to protect the finish from heat-related wear, we strongly recommend using LED bulbs. LED technology generates significantly less heat than traditional incandescent bulbs, which not only makes the lamp safer to adjust while lit but also prevents the metal shades from becoming uncomfortably warm.

Stability is a key advantage of this lamp’s construction. Built with a solid metal base and stem, it offers a more grounded and durable profile than lighter plastic or glass alternatives. While its design is slim and modern, the weight of the metal base provides the necessary ballast to help resist accidental tipping in high-traffic areas or homes with pets.

This item is designated as "partial assembly required." Typically, this involves straightforward steps such as securing the dual brass shades to the stem and connecting the base. Following our standard policy for accessory items, these assembly steps are to be completed by the customer, as they are not included in the "full service" setup provided by our delivery teams for larger furniture pieces.
