Brass & Marble Cherub Table Lamp · Verdelaine

A cherub on green marble, holding up the light.

A winged brass cherub stands on a column of deep green marble, wrapped in cast brass garlands, and lifts a slender stem to a pleated fabric shade with a scalloped, gold-braided hem. The Verdelaine Brass Marble Cherub Table Lamp brings French Rococo charm to bedrooms, living rooms and entry consoles.

The column rests on a leaf-carved brass collar and a 6.3" round base, wide enough to stand steady on a nightstand or console.

In pairs

One left, one right, a perfect frame.

Because Verdelaine comes in mirror-image versions, a pair stands balanced on matching nightstands or at either end of a sofa.

On a 26" nightstand

On a standard 26" (66 cm) nightstand, the bottom of the shade sits about 43" from the floor, below your eyes when you sit up in bed, so you see the glow, not the bulb.

On an entry console

On a 32" (81 cm) console, the lamp rises to about 61", just under the eye level of a standing adult, so it greets you as a warm accent when you walk in.

Questions

Before you choose Verdelaine.

  • BulbE26, not included
  • Max wattage40W
  • Voltage110–120V
  • PowerPlug-in, in-line switch
  • Height28.7" / 73 cm
Ask us before you order
Are bulbs included? What bulb should I buy?

Bulbs are not included. Verdelaine takes one E26 bulb, 40W max. We recommend a 3000K warm white LED bulb in a standard A19 shape, which sits neatly under the pleated shade. The color temperature you see comes from the bulb you choose.

What is the difference between Left and Right?

They are mirror images. On the Left version the stem rises on the left of the cherub as you face the lamp; on the Right version it rises on the right. For a symmetrical pair on matching nightstands, order one of each.

How does it turn on?

Verdelaine plugs into a standard wall outlet and has an in-line switch on the cord, so there is no hardwiring and no electrician needed.

What size table does it suit?

It stands on a 6.3" (16 cm) round base under a 15.4" (39 cm) shade, so it fits most nightstands, side tables and consoles. On a 24–26" table, the bottom of the shade sits about 41–43" from the floor, just below seated eye level.

Is the column real marble?

Yes. The column is green marble, so each lamp shows its own natural veining and no two are exactly alike.

How do I care for the brass, marble and shade?

Unplug the lamp first. Dust the brass with a soft, dry cloth and skip abrasive polishes. Wipe the marble with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid acidic cleaners. Freshen the pleated shade with a soft brush or a lint roller.

Four hands-on stages

From a bar of raw brass to the frame of your lamp, each stage is done by a person at a machine or a bench.

Brass

Mostly copper, strengthened with zinc. That simple mix gives brass its warm golden color, its weight and its strength, and it is the metal we build our lamp bodies from.

Look closer at the metal

Brass rewards a close look. Tap a point to see what solid metal does that coated metal cannot.

You feel it the moment you lift it

Brass is one of the densest metals used in lighting. That weight is why a brass lamp hangs steady and feels solid in your hands.

Both can look golden on day one. Drag to see what sits under the surface.

Gold all the way through

Scratch solid brass and you find more brass. Scratch plating and grey metal shows.

No rust underneath

Brass does not rust. Plated iron rusts once the coating wears thin.

Detail that stays sharp

Machined brass keeps crisp lines; cast alloys tend to look soft.
