What sets it apart

• Contrasting materials: The matte black iron framework anchors a pale, creamy milk glass shade for a striking visual contrast that catches the eye from across the room.
• Bold, inviting scale: Standing 23 inches tall with a 15.5-inch-wide profile, it commands attention without overwhelming the room.
• Versatile display: A true hanging oil lamp that lends warm, intimate illumination for intimate dinners or ambient backdrops in open-plan layouts.
• Craftsmanship you can feel: thoughtfully engineered hardware and glasswork that evoke heritage while remaining a durable focal point for your interior design.
