Lampe sur pied arquée 58 po Metcalfe

L’abat-jour. Mais la lumière est éblouissante.

I needed an interesting pole lamp to fit behind an end table between two stuffed chairs, where there is a framed painting on the wall between two windows. I wanted something that blended with my furniture (the shade colors and metal color), was nice looking, and wouldn't obscure the painting. Very hard to find something like that. This style lamp seemed perfect because it's small enough (particularly the shade), interesting, nicely detailed, not too tall, and hangs forward over the end table so it won't cover up the painting on the wall. I love the glass shade -- and it is real glass, not plastic as some reviews complain. Tiffany "art glass" is real glass. The package insert explains that when you tap the glass, it doesn't clink like glass because the metal framework is holding it so tightly, so it makes a plastic-like sound instead. There were a number of lamps in this arched Tiffany style to choose from at Wayfair...however, the descriptions on all of them said they had a floor switch or a switch on the base or an in-line (cord) switch. I needed a regular switch on the TOP part of the lamp because the base would be behind an end table. This was the only lamp in this arched Tiffany style that said "rotary socket" switch, and I thought the part just above the glass shade in the picture showed a regular rotary switch when I zoomed in. BUT in real life, that part is actually a screw that loosens the shade holder joint so you can position it. The SWITCH is actually a large push-button located on the cord! Luckily, I have been able to lift the black cord and place the switch unit ON the end table so we can get to it...but it's held in place on the table by our remote control caddy, and it's not the best arrangement. It looks kind of awkward. The switch unit and the cord are black so they don't show that much on the dark table...so I'm keeping the lamp anyway. Otherwise, there would have been no way to access the switch on the floor and I'd have to return the lamp. THE SWITCH DESCRIPTION IS WRONG. There were other Tiffany lamps in this style with shades I actually liked better than this one -- I only chose this one because I thought it had the right kind of switch. It doesn't. So it's a very pretty little lamp, well made, and works just fine, but make sure you can access a floor switch before you buy it.

The lamp is beautiful! It was easy to put together.

I thought this was beautiful at first but then I moved an a metal piece is showing above the tiffany shade now that I cannot get back in - a bit flimsy.
