Elstead Ottoman 1 Light Table Lamp - Lightly Crackled Metallic Bronze

A glaze that shifts with every angle

The Ottoman table lamp is built around a rounded porcelain base finished in a lightly crackled metallic bronze glaze, the kind of surface that rarely looks quite the same twice. Turn it in the light and the fine network of cracks running through the bronze catches differently from every angle, giving what would otherwise be a simple rounded shape a genuine bit of depth.

Bronze base, ivory shade

Below the shade, the porcelain body has a generous, rounded shoulder that narrows into a short neck, all finished in that same crackled bronze glaze. A bright nickel fitting where the shade attaches leads up to a tapered ivory empire shade, finished with a small brass toned ball finial at the very top. The pairing of the dark, reflective bronze against the pale ivory shade is what gives the lamp its contrast, rather than any pattern on the shade itself.

How It Works

A single E27 bulb, not included, sits in the neck of the base, so the light reads mostly through the shade rather than glowing through the glazed porcelain. It is wired for use with dimmable bulbs, so fitting one lets you take the light down to a softer glow in the evening rather than running it at full brightness all the time.

Where It Works Best

At 71cm tall with a 46cm wide shade, the Ottoman is a proper statement lamp rather than a small accent piece, so it needs a surface with some space around it, a console table, a sideboard, or a substantial bedside table rather than a narrow shelf. Its scale and classic shape suit living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and hallways equally well.

Elstead Lighting

Elstead Lighting has spent decades building a range around traditional and country house style lighting, working out of Alton in Hampshire. A piece like the Ottoman, with its glazed ceramic base and fabric shade, sits comfortably within that classic, textured end of the range rather than anything sharply modern.

Questions People Ask

What size bulb does the Ottoman table lamp take? It takes a single E27 bulb, which is not included, so you can choose your preferred brightness and colour temperature.

Is the Ottoman table lamp dimmable? Yes, as long as you fit a dimmable E27 bulb. A bulb that is not dimmable will not dim, even on a dimmer switch circuit.

How heavy is the Ottoman table lamp? It weighs around 5kg thanks to its solid porcelain base, which helps it sit securely on a console table or sideboard.

Will the crackled glaze look the same on every lamp? The crackle effect is created during glazing, so the exact pattern of fine lines varies slightly from lamp to lamp, though the overall lightly crackled metallic bronze look stays consistent.
