Its natural veining and translucent white give a soft, warm glow. It is made for a console, a desk or a bedside table in a calm interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA white alabaster table lamp shaped like a monolith\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a diameter of 30 cm and a height of 27 cm, this white alabaster table lamp has a wide, low outline, and it presents itself as an object set down on the table rather than as a simple lighting accessory. The body and shade of the white alabaster table lamp are one piece of real alabaster, in a translucent white with a natural veining that is unique to each lamp. When the light is off, the stone reads as a pale, matt sculpture; when it is on, the thickness of the alabaster glows from within and the veins appear as soft lines of warmth. That is the quality that separates stone from imitation: a white alabaster table lamp lit from inside shows depth, and no printed surface can do the same. Inside the stone runs a structure of \u003cstrong\u003esolid brass\u003c\/strong\u003e, a sound and weighty material for a lamp that is meant to stay where it is put. The white alabaster table lamp suits a pale scheme of lime plaster, linen and pale wood, but it is equally striking against a dark wall, where the glow of the stone becomes the point of the room. It works as a single piece on a console, on a desk as a source of warm light, or on a wide bedside table as a restful lamp for the end of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe specification of this white alabaster table lamp\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the electrician and for the buyer, the facts are simple. This white alabaster table lamp measures \u003cstrong\u003e30 cm in diameter and 27 cm in height\u003c\/strong\u003e. The bulb cap is a standard \u003cstrong\u003eE27 Edison screw (ES)\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a single cap, and it accepts a bulb of up to \u003cstrong\u003e40 W\u003c\/strong\u003e, either incandescent or an LED equivalent; the bulb is not included. The cable is 150 cm long and fitted with a plug, and a push-button switch is built into the cable. This white alabaster table lamp is compatible with a dimmer, which is not included, so the light can be lowered in the evening; as with any dimmer, check that the bulb you choose is dimmable. The lamp is for indoor use only. Because the body is stone, the white alabaster table lamp has a real weight on the table. Its low, wide stance keeps the centre of gravity near the table, so it sits steadily once it is placed. Under a 2.40 m ceiling it stays well clear of any light fitting, as it stands only 27 cm high. It also it deserves a firm, flat surface away from the edge. A warm white bulb suits the alabaster best, since it gives the stone a honeyed tone and brings out the veining. A white alabaster table lamp of this width asks for a console or desk of reasonable depth, and it does not belong on a narrow shelf, where the base would hang over the edge. With the push-button switch on the cable, you can turn it on without lifting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlacing a white alabaster table lamp at home\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA white alabaster table lamp looks best when it has room around it. On a console in a hallway, set against a plain wall, it makes a glowing landmark that welcomes visitors. On a desk, the white alabaster table lamp gives a soft pool of light that eases the contrast with a screen, though a task light remains the better choice for detailed work. In a lounge, place it on a sideboard with a few books and a small plant, and let the stone and brass find their companions in wood and linen. A pair of white alabaster table lamps on either side of a mirror or a bed makes a calm symmetry, and because the veining of each piece differs, the pair will be alike in spirit but not identical. Keep the stone dry and wipe it with a soft cloth only, and do not put it in a bathroom or any damp room. If you work with a dimmer, try the white alabaster table lamp at its lowest setting at dusk: the stone then looks like a warm lantern. A white alabaster table lamp of this kind changes how the room feels once the daylight goes, and it is a lamp you want to switch on early in the evening, simply to see it glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReal alabaster, a solid brass core and a dimmable light: this white alabaster table lamp brings warmth and weight to a quiet interior. Alborra selects it for the honesty of its material. Choose it for a console, a desk or a bedside that deserves a gentle glow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alborra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55266716713297,"sku":"LAM-656-LA","price":630.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1089\/9878\/7409\/files\/alborra-lampe-a-poser-albatre-blanc-1.png?v=1792238525","url":"https:\/\/alborra.com\/products\/white-alabaster-table-lamp-solid-brass-core","provider":"Alborra","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
