Vintage Chrome Desk Lamp — Polished Chrome, Fabric Diffusion, White or Taupe Shade
The combination of polished chrome and fabric shade gives this lamp a refined, vintage-industrial character: the chrome body reflects light and adds a sleek, polished presence, while the fabric shade softens the output and diffuses it warmly downward. The white shade gives a brighter, crisper light output; the taupe shade produces a warmer, more amber-toned glow — the choice depends on whether you want the lamp to feel more functional or more atmospheric. The E14 socket is a small screw fitting — note that standard E27 bulbs do not fit. Maximum wattage is 40W; for LED E14 bulbs, a 4–6W warm white (2700K) is sufficient and stays well within the limit. The chrome body is easy to clean with a soft cloth. This is a plug-in lamp — no electrician required. IP20 means strictly dry indoor use.
Works well on desks, bedside tables, and side tables in home offices, bedrooms, and living rooms where a refined vintage lamp is needed. The chrome and fabric combination suits contemporary, Art Deco, and transitional interiors. The white shade integrates into lighter, neutral palettes; the taupe suits warmer, earthier schemes.

Common questions
Does this lamp need an electrician to install?
+
No. This is a plug-in desk lamp with a standard plug. Place it, fit your E14 bulb, plug in, and switch on. No wiring required.
What bulb fits this lamp — can I use E27?
+
No — this lamp uses an E14 small screw socket, not E27. Use an E14 LED bulb (4–6W, 2700K recommended) within the 40W maximum rating. Bulb not included.
Which shade colour should I choose — white or taupe?
+
White gives a brighter, crisper light output and suits lighter, neutral interiors. Taupe produces a warmer, more amber-toned glow and suits warmer, earthier palettes. Both use the same chrome body and E14 socket.
How do I clean the chrome body?
+
Wipe the chrome body with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which will scratch the polished surface. For fingerprints, a microfibre cloth works well. Do not use water on the fabric shade — brush gently with a soft brush or use a lint roller.
Can I dim this lamp?
+
There is no built-in dimmer. Use a dimmable E14 bulb (max 40W) with a compatible smart plug that supports dimming. Check bulb and smart plug compatibility before purchasing.
