Ellesmere Traditional Desk Lamp Antique Brass

French & Hamptons Style

The Ellesmere is an antique brass desk lamp built along the lines of a traditional bankers lamp, with a tent-shaped shade that casts a warm pool of light straight down onto the page. Standing 58cm tall with a 41cm reach, it sits comfortably on a writing desk, bedside table or study console without crowding the surface. The aged brass finish, visible in its warm, slightly weathered patina across the shade, pole and stepped round base, gives it the look of a fitting handed down rather than bought new.

• Tent shade swivels left and right on its own joint, so you can angle the light away from your eyes and onto the book or paperwork in front of you
• The stick pole telescopes to adjust overall height, letting you raise the lamp for standing work or lower it for close reading
• Takes a single standard E27 globe (LED recommended, 40W max), so a warm-white bulb is a straightforward swap
• Runs on standard 240V household current through a 1.4m cord, long enough to reach a nearby power point without an extension lead
• Weighted at 3.75kg for a stable, settled footing on the desk, thanks to its stepped brass base
• Indoor use only (IP20), suited to studies, libraries and bedrooms rather than covered outdoor areas

A Brass Desk Lamp for the Heritage Study

This is the kind of desk lamp that suits a room built around old books, leather chairs and dark timber furniture, but it sits just as easily beside a French provincial dressing table or a Hamptons-style writing desk. Pair it with a stack of hardbacks and a leather blotter, or set it on a bedside table where its adjustable shade can be angled down for late reading without disturbing anyone else in the room.

Bring a little quiet, working elegance to your desk with the Ellesmere.
