Brass lamps are classy, versatile and surprisingly affordable. This warm metal is a lovely antidote to the cooler metals that have taken center stage over the past decade. And with new decor flexibility that encourages mixing metals, adding a brass lamp or two to your styling feels sophisticated and smart. There’s a brass lamp for every design style, and even though it looks rich and luxurious, this metal is surprisingly affordable. Lighting is often referred to as the jewelry of a room, and these eight examples show that to be entirely true!

Antique Brass Desk Table Lamp
The antique solid brass stand and shade of this table lamp sits on a crystal foot for a little extra luxury. The Empire shade pivots up and down, and the lamp head is adjustable in height. A 40-watt bulb is required but not included.

Perfection is the only word to describe this antique brass lamp. It sits at 33.25” at its maximum height, but the shade can be adjusted to sit at 28.25” to shine the light more directly onto your work surface. The shade swivels in multiple directions to further pinpoint where you want the light to go. Timeless in design, this pretty lamp will look good in any setting.

Solid Brass Table Lamp
Standing at 22.5” high, this lovely little solid brass lamp is actually two lamps in one. You’ll receive two compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs along with your order. The G45 bulbs have an E26/medium bulb, a standard shape with a 550 lumens brightness.
Designer Advice:
This is the ideal accent lamp to illuminate darker corners or just to add a touch of elegance to your room. The bulbs give off a warm light directed downwards by the two cone shades. Don’t surround this solid brass table lamp with too many accessories as it stands out and makes a statement on its own. Placing one lamp on each nightstand gives you enough light to read by before drifting off to sleep.

Traditional Brass Table Lamp
Crafted from solid brass, this traditional table lamp has an extra-wide bowl shade that’s painted white on its interior. This allows the single 120 volt light bulb’s to reflect and give you more light. An inline on/off switch is located on the 62” long cord.
Designer Advice:
Timeless design meets versatility with this antique brass task lamp. The unique styling of its slender cone-shaped stem contrasts with the bowl shade, providing an interesting silhouette on whatever surface you place it. Perfect for an entry console, office desk, bedroom dresser or living room side table. Stacking several coffee table books under the lamp will create an unusual vignette that can fill an empty corner.

Modern Style Brass Table Lamp
Novogratz
Ultimately minimalist in style, this modern solid brass lamp features an integrated LED lamp. At only 15” tall and 10.75” wide, the tiny size doesn’t affect its ability to cast a lot of light or its sturdiness. The brass is buffed down to a matte finish.
Designer Advice:
The integrated LED lamp head pivots up and down, from side to side and can be placed in its vertical position. This allows you to direct light where you need it most. The bulb life expectancy is 50,000 hours and cannot be replaced once it’s reached its life span. A dimmer switch lets you choose the amount of light for any situation, perfect for sensitive eyes.

Designer Advice:
