Sarezzo Metal Tapered Table Lamp | Hand-Turned Solid Brass Lighting

The Sarezzo Metal Tapered Table Lamp descends from the oldest idea in table lighting — a turned metal column, narrow at the top and broadening toward the foot — executed here in a base handcrafted from solid brass. The taper is what gives the lamp its posture: it plants weight low, lifts the socket cleanly, and lets the brass catch a graduated highlight down its full length rather than a single flat reflection.

Offered in three finishes and four heights, it fills the roles a household actually needs: a reading lamp beside a wing chair, a pair on a long console, a low light on a bedside table. The brass reads warm against paint, paper, leather and old wood.

Premium Features & Construction

Solid Brass Worked to a Graduated Taper

A tapered brass column is defined by the rate at which it narrows. Too fast and the lamp looks squat; too slow and the form goes slack. Here the base moves from 3¾" in diameter on the 13" lamp to 6" on the 30", each height carrying its own proportion so the taper stays consistent across the family. The collar and fittings are brass as well, so there is no change of material where the base meets the socket.

Solid brass also brings a practical benefit: it takes and holds a finish. The same handcrafted base is offered in polished nickel for a cool, reflective read, vintage brass for warmth and depth, and bronze for a darker, quieter presence — three genuinely different rooms from one silhouette.

The tapered brass profile is at home in interiors such as:

• Traditional and Classical Rooms

• English Country Interiors

• Studies, Libraries and Reading Corners

• Warm Minimalism

• French-Inflected Modern Spaces

• Collected, Layered Family Homes

• Tailored Guest Bedrooms

Lighting Performance

The 13" lamp is rated for one 40W maximum E12 candelabra bulb — a small-format socket that keeps the head of the lamp in scale with its short base. The 18", 24" and 30" lamps are each rated for one 60W maximum E26-base bulb, the standard household size, for meaningful reading light.

A bulb is included with every lamp. If brighter light is preferred, consider an LED bulb with a higher lumen output within the rating for your size.

Dimming is fitted throughout the range, though the control differs: the 13" lamp uses an inline dimmer switch on the cord, and the 18"–30" lamps have the dimmer switch on the socket. On brass this matters — the metal looks entirely different at full output than at a low, amber evening level.

Important Shade Information

The shade is included. An uno-fitter shade is required, as the lamp is not equipped with a harp or finial. Each size ships with a shade scaled to it:

Care & Maintenance

Run a soft, dry cloth down the taper from collar to foot, following the form rather than working across it. Avoid the use of all cleaners and abrasives, as they will damage the finish.

The base is handcrafted from solid brass, with the collar and fittings crafted of brass.

Do I need to buy a bulb?

No. A bulb is included with the lamp.

Is the lamp dimmable?

Yes, in every size. Dimming is inline on the cord at 13" and on the socket at 18", 24" and 30".

What bulb does each size take?

One 40W maximum E12 candelabra bulb at 13"; one 60W maximum E26-base bulb at 18", 24" and 30".

Is the shade included with this lamp?

Yes. The shade is included.

What kind of shade does it take?

An uno-fitter shade is required, as the lamp is not equipped with a harp or finial.

Can I fit an LED bulb?

Yes. If brighter light is preferred, consider an LED bulb with a higher lumen output.

Which finish should I choose?

Polished nickel is the coolest and most reflective; vintage brass is the warmest; bronze is the darkest and recedes most in a room. All three are applied to the same handcrafted solid brass base.

Is this a good bedroom lamp?

Yes. The 13" and 18" heights suit bedside tables and dressers, while the 24" and 30" work on living room consoles, entry chests and behind seating.

Can the lamp go outside or in a bathroom?

No. Certification is to the Dry UL electrical standard, which covers indoor dry locations only — not spaces directly exposed to excessive moisture and water.

What sizes are offered?

Four heights are offered:

• 13"

• 18"

• 24"

• 30"

How long is the cord?

Each lamp has an 8-foot black fabric cord.

How do I keep the brass looking right?

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and nothing else; all cleaners and abrasives will damage the finish.

What decorating styles does the tapered form suit?

Traditional and classical rooms, English country interiors, studies and libraries, warm minimalism, and layered, collected family homes.

Why is solid brass preferred over plated or hollow metal bases?

Solid brass resists corrosion and accepts finishes that stay true rather than flaking off a thin plated layer. It is also repairable and rewirable decades later.
