Two separate switches let you light the shade for reading and room light, the base for a soft glow, or both together, so one lamp covers everything from a bright evening to a gentle night light. In Small, Medium and Large, from 13.4 in to 30.7 in tall, it fits a nightstand, a console or a grand sideboard, and its silhouette reads as timeless in almost any room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fontana 1853 table lamp (also known as Fontana)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e FontanaArte, Milan, Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem numbers (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e Small F185300100BIN1; Medium F185305100BIN1; Large F185310100BIN1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plug-in glass table lamp with lit shade and lit base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e bedrooms, living rooms, entries, dining sideboards, hotel suites, lobbies and restaurants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.9 in (20 cm) diameter x 13.4 in (34 cm) high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.6 in (32 cm) diameter x 20.9 in (53 cm) high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18.5 in (47 cm) diameter x 30.7 in (78 cm) high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight source, Small:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x E26 59W max + 2 x G9 19W max\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight source, Medium:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x E26 100W max + 2 x E12 30W max\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight source, Large:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x E26 100W max + 4 x E26 46W max + 2 x E12 30W max\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e diffused, not dimmable; double switch lights the shade and the base separately; bulbs not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e plug-in, 110V; black cord with switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP20, dry indoor locations only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e satin-finish blown glass shade and base; painted metal frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes available:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small, Medium, Large (white)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e UL pending\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Max Ingrand (1954)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-century, Transitional, Classic, Modern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/1264\/8406\/files\/ul-pending-certification-mark.png\" alt=\"UL pending certification mark: UL listing for the US market is in progress\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\"\u003e UL certification for the U.S. market is in progress for this lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight quality and how it performs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the shade and the base are blown glass with a satin finish, so each glows softly and evenly. With the shade lit, light spreads down onto the table and out into the room through the glass, giving a warm, generous ambient light that is also good for reading. With only the base lit, the lamp becomes a quiet glowing sculpture, perfect for late evening or as a night light. Lighting both gives the fullest effect. Each size has its own lamping: the Small uses one E26 in the shade and two G9 bulbs in the base; the Medium one E26 plus two E12; the Large one E26 and four E26 plus two E12, for serious output in a big room. Warm-white LED bulbs in the right bases keep the glass cool and the colour cosy. The lamp is not dimmable; the double switch on the cord controls each part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Small (13.4 in high, 7.9 in across) is right for a narrow nightstand, a desk corner or a shelf. The Medium (20.9 in high, 12.6 in across) is the classic nightstand and console size; give it about 15 in of surface. The Large (30.7 in high, 18.5 in across) is a statement for a sideboard, a wide console, a hall table or a corner of a large living room, and needs about 21 in of surface. On a pair of nightstands, the Medium keeps the bottom of the shade near eye level when you sit up in bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBedrooms.\u003c\/strong\u003e A pair of Mediums gives balanced reading light, and the lit-base setting doubles as a soft night light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLiving and dining rooms.\u003c\/strong\u003e A Large on a sideboard anchors the room; a Small on a bookshelf or side table adds a low, warm point of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEntries.\u003c\/strong\u003e On a hall console, the glowing glass base welcomes you home even before the main lights are on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHotels, restaurants and lobbies.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fontana 1853 is a natural fit for guest-room nightstands, suite desks, lobby consoles, restaurant sideboards and lounge tables, where a recognisable, timeless lamp sets the tone.

It looks beautiful against dark panelled or painted walls, where the glow stands out, and next to walnut, marble, brass and velvet.
