Handcrafted from brass and iron with an antique sensibility, it has genuine warmth without feeling fussy, and the Indian yellow shade brings an understated pop of color to a nightstand or desk. This works beautifully in bedrooms or studies where you want layered, intimate lighting rather than overhead brightness. The brass will develop a natural patina over time, which only improves its character. Fair warning: the compact scale means it's genuinely a task light, not ambient—pair it with softer overhead or wall lighting for balance.
