{"product_id":"verity-tapered-column-alabaster-floor-lamp","title":"Verity Tapered Column Alabaster Floor Lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Verity Tapered Column Alabaster Floor Lamp is one continuous column of natural alabaster, wide at the floor and narrowing as it rises, standing on a slim brass disc and carrying a rectangular alabaster shade held by four small brass brackets. There is no visible stem, no cord running up a pole, no join halfway. The stone does the standing and the shading both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFinish: Natural White Alabaster · Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVoltage: AC 110–240V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControl: Foot switch on the cord — on \/ off Not a dimmer.

Light escapes downward into the column and travels through the stone, so the tapering shaft carries a soft internal warmth all the way to the floor while the rectangular shade sits above it like a lit panel. Switched off, the piece reads as pale sculpture rather than as a lamp waiting to be used — the veining visible in daylight, the brass disc catching a line of light at the floor. Suited to a living room corner, beside a sofa or reading chair, in an entry, or in a bedroom where a tall quiet object does more than a bright one. In natural white alabaster with a brass base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlabaster is a natural stone, so every piece carries its own veining and subtle variation in color. The fixture you receive may therefore differ slightly from the images shown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural White Alabaster · Gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax 40W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAC 110–240V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eInstallation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlug and play — no hardwiring, no electrician\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eEnvironment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndoor, dry locations only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePreparation time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5–10 days Made and inspected at our own workshop before dispatch.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSmall\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNarrower spaces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eW 15.7″ × H 63″\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 × 160 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBeside\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA slim reading chair, a console, a narrow corner, or a bedside\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLarge\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMost chosen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eW 17.7″ × H 65″\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 × 165 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFrom\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$1,260.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGood to Know\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich of the two sizes should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonestly, they are very close. The small is 15.7″ wide × 63″ tall; the large is 17.7″ wide × 65″ tall. Two inches either way — nobody walking into the room will be able to tell them apart.So decide on the shade width against the furniture beside it, not on height. Next to a deep sofa or a wide armchair the 17.7″ keeps the proportion; in a narrow corner, an entry, or beside a slim reading chair the 15.7″ sits better. If you genuinely cannot choose, take the smaller one — an under-scaled lamp reads as restrained, an over-scaled one reads as a mistake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it bright enough to read by?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — it is an ambient lamp. Stone diffuses light in every direction instead of aiming it, so you get a warm even glow with no beam and nothing harsh anywhere.That suits a corner, a sofa side, or a bedroom. If you read in that chair, pair it with a directional reading light. Expecting one soft stone lamp to do both jobs is how people end up disappointed with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need an electrician?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It plugs into an ordinary socket — nothing to hardwire, nothing to drill, and no permission needed if you rent. There is a foot switch on the cord, so you turn it on with your toe rather than reaching up into the shade. The cord is 59″, which reaches along a wall but not across a room — check where your nearest outlet is, and ask us for a longer cord when you order if you need one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I dim it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot with the foot switch — that is on\/off only. And a dimmable bulb on its own does nothing, because there is no dimmer for it to work with. This catches a lot of people out.Two things do work: an in-line plug-in dimmer between the lamp and the wall, or a smart bulb you dim from your phone. Both are inexpensive, and beside a sofa most people eventually want the option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow heavy is it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeavy — it is solid stone on a brass disc, not a hollow shade on a metal pole. Ask us for the exact figure if you are carrying it upstairs or standing it on a delicate floor.Mostly that is good news: it will not be knocked over by a child, a dog or a vacuum cleaner, and it needs no wide sprawling base to stay upright. The trade-off is simply that it is not a lamp you move on a whim — choose the spot and plan to leave it there.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LightExp","offers":[{"title":"W 15.7\" × H 63\" \/ White + Gold \/ US plug","offer_id":67808418627951,"sku":"V-FLAL2608181-1","price":8545.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"W 15.7\" × H 63\" \/ White + Gold \/ UK plug","offer_id":67808418660719,"sku":"V-FLAL2608181-2","price":8545.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"W 15.7\" × H 63\" \/ White + Gold \/ AU plug","offer_id":67808418693487,"sku":"V-FLAL2608181-3","price":8545.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"W 15.7\" × H 63\" \/ White + Gold \/ EU plug","offer_id":67808418726255,"sku":"V-FLAL2608181-4","price":8545.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"W 17.7\" × H 65\" \/ White + Gold \/ US plug","offer_id":67808418759023,"sku":"V-FLAL2608181-5","price":10445.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"W 17.7\" × H 65\" \/ White + Gold \/ UK plug","offer_id":67808418791791,"sku":"V-FLAL2608181-6","price":10445.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"W 17.7\" × H 65\" \/ White + Gold \/ AU plug","offer_id":67808418824559,"sku":"V-FLAL2608181-7","price":10445.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"W 17.7\" × H 65\" \/ White + Gold \/ EU plug","offer_id":67808418857327,"sku":"V-FLAL2608181-8","price":10445.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/3466\/8143\/files\/verity-tapered-column-alabaster-floor-lamp-vidirlighting-isolated-white-background-cutout-webp-duplicate.webp?v=1792483916","url":"https:\/\/lightexp.com\/products\/verity-tapered-column-alabaster-floor-lamp","provider":"LightExp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
