Where the base becomes the feature The Apollo table lamp puts its structure on full display. Straight strips of brushed brass cross and recross each other up from a hexagonal marble plinth, doing the job of a plain lamp base but reading more like a small sculpture. A classic white drum shade sits on top, so the drama stays at floor level and the light stays soft and even. Brushed brass and white marble The crossed frame has a brushed rather than polished finish, so it takes the light without throwing off a hard glare, and the plinth beneath it is genuine white marble rather than a painted lookalike. On top sits a white faux silk shade with a white laminate lining, keeping the whole piece bright rather than moody. How It Works A single E27 LED lamp sits inside the shade, on a rod that runs straight up through the centre of the crossed frame and the marble plinth (bulb not included). Fit a dimmable LED and the lamp will respond to a dimmer switch, so it can run low for atmosphere or bright enough to read by. Where It Works Best The base is really the point of interest here, so it works best somewhere it can be seen properly: a console table, a study desk, or the centre of a sideboard. It also suits a large bedside table or a hallway console, anywhere with enough space around it that the crossed frame is not crowded out by other objects. A different side of Elstead Alongside its traditional lanterns and chandeliers, Elstead also produces more architectural pieces like this one. The brand takes its name from The Elstead Forge in Alton, Hampshire, and remains a family run business today, distributing decorative lighting across a wide range of styles rather than just the heritage pieces it is best known for.

No. It takes one E27 LED lamp holder and the bulb is not included, so choose a dimmable E27 LED if you want to use it with a dimmer switch. Is the base metal or marble? Both. The crossed frame is steel finished in brushed brass, and it sits on a genuine white marble plinth rather than a resin or composite base. Is the Apollo table lamp dimmable? Yes, as long as you fit a dimmable E27 bulb. A non dimmable bulb will not dim even on a dimmer switch circuit. What size is the Apollo table lamp?
