The Elwick is a 415mm table lamp on a marble base with an antique brass bodyand a mouth-blown faceted glass shade three colourways one E27 globe to 25W, not supplied, on1.8metres of flex.

It plugs into a power point. Our page said itmust be installed by a licensed electrician. It has1.8metres of flex and is ClassII double insulated.Removed.

Mouth-blown faceted glass and the record recorded no material at all

Our product record carried no material field whatsoever: not the marble, not thebrass, not the glass. On this lamp that is the entire product.

Mouth-blown means the glass is shaped by breath, not pressed intoa mould so the wall thickness varies slightly andno two shades are identical. Add facets to that and you getsomething a moulded shade cannot do: each facecatches and refracts light at its own angle, and because the glass behind them isuneven, the facets do not all read the same. Lit, it is acluster of differently bright surfaces rather than a regular pattern.

Three colourways, and the glass tint changes the light

• Black marble with smoke glass the darkest and most formal. Smokecuts the output, so the lamp is restrained and stays a dark objectwhen off.
• Brown with amber glass amber warms the light itself, sothe lamp reads golden and candle-like. The warmest of the three by a distance.
• Green the most decisive, and unusual in this catalogue. It works wherethere is timber, brass or planting to answer it.

The globe is visible through faceted glass choose itdeliberately. One E27 to 25W, not supplied. Adecorative LED filament inside faceted glass is the whole effect; abare white capsule will look unfinished. Use warm 2700K,particularly behind amber. Ask us and we will match one.

3 kilograms on a 100mm base and the marble is why

415mm high, 190mm wide, on a base only100mm across, at 3.06kg.

That is a very small footprint for a lamp this weight, and it isstone that makes it work: marble is dense enough to hold a 415mm lamp steady ona 100mm base where a metal one would tip. Practically, the Elwicktakes almost no table space and stays exactly where you put it a good combination on a crowded bedside table or a narrow console.

Dimming depends on the globe. Our record carriesno value at all; the datasheet says globe dependent. On a plug-inlamp that needs an inline or plug-in dimmer and withfaceted glass and a visible filament, dimming isthe single best thing you can do for how it looks.Ask us and we will match the pair. It isIP20 indoor and dry locations only.

Where it works

• Bedsides and narrow consoles a tiny footprint and it does not tip.
• Side tables beside a chair, as a warm decorative point.
• Eclectic and bohemian interiors, in the amber or green.
• The globe shows buy a decorative filament, not a capsule.
• Dimming needs an inline or plug-in dimmer.

Questions

Do I need an electrician?

No. It has 1.8 metres of flex and is double insulated fit a globe and plug it in. Our page said otherwise, which was wrong.

What is the shade made of?

Mouth-blown faceted glass shaped by breath rather than pressed into a mould, so the wall thickness varies and no two shades are identical. Our product record carried no material field at all: not the marble, not the brass, not the glass.

What does “faceted” do to the light?

Each face catches and refracts light at its own angle and because the mouth-blown glass behind them is uneven, the facets do not all read the same. Lit, it is a cluster of differently bright surfaces rather than a regular pattern, which a moulded shade cannot do.

Which colourway should I choose?

Black marble with smoke glass is the darkest and most formal smoke cuts the output and the lamp stays a dark object when off. Brown with amber warms the light itself, so it reads golden and candle-like, the warmest by a distance. Green is the most decisive and works where there is timber, brass or planting to answer it.

Is it stable on such a small base?

Yes, and marble is why. It is 3.06kg on a 100mm base dense enough to hold a 415mm lamp steady where a metal base that size would tip. It takes almost no table space and stays exactly where you put it.

What globe should I fit?

A decorative LED filament in warm 2700K, particularly behind the amber glass. The globe is visible through faceted glass, and a bare white capsule will look unfinished.

Can I dim it?

With a dimmable E27 and an inline or plug-in dimmer. Our record carries no value at all; the datasheet says globe dependent. With faceted glass and a visible filament, dimming is the single best thing you can do for how it looks.
