OKA's cordless approach genuinely changes how you'd use an antique-style lamp—no hunting for outlets or trailing cables. The brass and iron construction feels substantial despite its smaller scale, while the vellum shade diffuses warm light beautifully without looking fussy. This works wonderfully on a desk, bedside table, or tucked into a reading nook where you'd want atmospheric lighting that doesn't dominate. Just note: the handmade brass will develop a natural patina over time, which adds to its charm but requires occasional gentle polishing if you prefer it bright.
