Wood Table Lamps

Wood table lamps on turned, tapered and stacked bases in solid wood, ash and walnut-coloured rubberwood, from the 12¼-inch Easton to the 22-inch Wren.

Start with the shade. For a wood table lamp with a linen shade, the Vernon Table Lamp sets a steep natural linen cone on a turned urn body 14⅛ inches tall, and the Camden wraps its tall cylinder shade in thick cotton-linen rope. The Mercer carries a straight fabric drum and the Vance a coarse oatmeal cone; the Thornbury's woven rattan cone is edged in a contrasting braid, the Harrington's open rattan weave lets light through the sides, and the Gallagher's painted metal dome sends light only downward.

Then match height to the room. At the bedside, the lower edge of the shade should sit about level with your chin when you are propped up against the headboard; the 12¼-inch Easton Table Lamp fits under a low bedside shelf. On a living-room side table or console, the Wren Table Lamp spreads light from a 16⅞-inch shade at 22 inches, and the Mercer stands 19¼.

Several come in more than one wood tone: the Ryder and Wesley in light wood, dark wood or black, the Thornbury in walnut or black, so a lamp can match wood coffee tables or contrast with them. Dust with a dry cloth and see material care. Browse all table lamps, bedside table lamps and marble table lamps, or Japandi lighting and organic modern lighting.
