Description

Charming and full of character, this 1950s Italian bedside lamp draws inspiration from the traditional silhouette of an antique oil lamp while incorporating the convenience of electric lighting. Handcrafted in Italy, the lamp features a beautifully aged copper body with a classic oil-lamp profile, paired with an elegant glass shade combining frosted and clear glass elements. Delicate spotted decoration within the glass adds texture and visual interest, creating a warm and inviting glow when illuminated.

The combination of warm copper tones and softly diffused glass evokes the romantic atmosphere of mid-century European interiors. Compact yet highly decorative, this lamp is ideal for bedside tables, reading nooks, cottage interiors, vintage-inspired bedrooms, and cosy living spaces. Its sculptural form makes it equally appealing as a decorative object when not in use.

Please review all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.

Bulb & Plug Compatibility

All pieces use standard Edison screw fittings: E27 (large, most pendants and sconces) or E14 (small, table lamps and multi-arm chandeliers). A handful of pieces use halogen — noted in the listing. E27 and E26 are interchangeable with a simple ring adapter.

These are straightforward socket circuits with no built-in electronics, so they're fully voltage-agnostic — just fit a bulb rated for your local voltage (110V or 220V) and it works.

Plug-in lamps: you'll need a standard EU-to-local plug adapter (EU Type C/F to US Type A/B, UK Type G, AU Type I, etc.). No voltage converter required.
