The Pelham Brass Metal Reading Floor Lamp

A cone of antiqued brass, tipped exactly where the page is.

This is a task lamp with a sense of occasion — beside a desk, next to the chair you work from, in the corner of a study where you want concentrated light and nothing spilling across the rest of the room. It dims when the work is done.

Metal throughout, in an antiqued brass finish, with a cone shade on a single-base reading form. Narrow at eleven inches wide, so it slots in beside furniture rather than competing with it.

Style it just behind and to the side of a reading chair, with a small wood or marble side table under the cone to catch books and a cup.

Directed, low-lit, and quietly useful — the lamp you end up using most.
