The shimmering white faux silk cylindrical shade sits atop a chrome stick stand with a circular bottom of chrome. The nature of this free standing Manhattan Table Lamp means that you can use it anywhere you need additional ambient or direct light. It offers an equal amount of both since the opening is the same at both the top & bottom, allowing just as much to reflect off the ceiling as ambient light as directs toward the seating area. You'll be able to use this lamp with almost any décor. The cool white & silver combination blends well with blues & greens & cools warmer colours such as latte or burnt orange. The matching pull switch adds a touch of elegance to the delightful table lamp.
