Metal Table Lamps
Metal Lamps by Ruma
Metal table lamps bring a distinct sense of craftsmanship and structure to a room, from the sharp lines of a contemporary base to the softer curves of a more heritage style design. Each lamp is chosen for the way its finish catches the light, whether that's a warm antique brass, a cool brushed silver, bronze hues or a subdued matt black.
Pair your metal lamp base with a shade that complements its tone, and it becomes a genuine anchor point for a console, sideboard or bedside table, rather than just a source of light.
Style and Ambience
A metal table lamp sits comfortably in both contemporary and more heritage style interiors, largely because the finish does so much of the styling work. A brushed or matt finish tends to soften a room, while a hammered or antique finish adds more texture and warmth, working well against darker walls or richer colour schemes.
Think about where the lamp will sit and what it needs to do: a slimmer, taller base suits a narrow console or a spot beside an armchair, while a more substantial candlestick or organic shaped base, grounds a larger surface such as a sideboard or dining console.
Care and Maintenance
Unlike ceramic or wood, metal finishes react differently depending on how they're treated at the factory and also the environment they live in. Whether the finish is matt, brushed or polished antique brass and other plated finishes, we recommend only using a dry cloth or duster. Harsh chemical cleaners and cloths may damage the factory finishes and must not be used. Of course highly polished or antiqued metal, will gently age over time as they take on the environment they live in. This must be recognised as the hand made element and natural beauty of these lamp bases.
It's a good idea to keep metal lamps well away from bathrooms, kitchens near the hob, or anywhere with regular condensation, as damp air speeds up tarnishing on more reactive finishes.
Explore the Collection
Whether you want an antique brass or modern metal table lamp for a home office desk, or a heavier hammered or candlestick-style base to anchor a living room console, the range spans enough finishes and shapes to suit most settings. Filter by finish or shape to narrow things down, and check the dimensions against your table or console before ordering to make sure the lamp base proportions fit your space.
