Golden Bird Rotating Table Lamp

The bird is the shade, and it rotates. There is no stop and no limit on the angle, so you can turn it to throw light onto a wall, down onto a desk, or up at the ceiling, and the lamp changes character entirely depending on where you point it. Most decorative lamps are fixed; this one is a light you aim.

Electroplated gold is a finish rather than a plating in the jewellery sense, and it does what it needs to here: it reflects warmly, catches highlights along the curves of the bird form, and reads as an object worth looking at when the lamp is switched off. That is half of what a decorative table lamp has to do.

Two versions are offered, one light and two, and the two-light is a genuinely different piece rather than the same lamp with an extra bulb: two birds, two angles, twice the reach. It works on a console, a desk or a shelf as art as much as illumination. Bulb not included; a warm white LED suits the gold. Indoor use. Wipe with a soft dry cloth, avoiding abrasives on the plating.
