The leather-dressed lamp is French design's borrowing from the bookbinder as much as the saddler. This one makes the debt explicit: its round base is finished exactly like the cover of a fine binding — burgundy leather tooled in gilt with a running scroll-and-leaf border — so the lamp reads as if it had stepped off the shelf of a library it was always meant to light.

This lamp is French in style: a baluster form dressed entirely in burgundy leather — a tapering upper spire and a swelling urn body, each sheathed in stitched panels — divided and footed by polished brass-toned mounts, on a round leather-covered base tooled in gilt with a scrolling foliate border. Run a finger down the stem seams — the leather is closed in long vertical seams over the compound curves of the urn, hide-worker's seaming rather than glued wrap, the construction that separates the leather-house lamps from imitations. The base's gilt tooling is the maker's second signature, applied line by line as on a book cover. The lamp is fully rewired through our workshop before dispatch, fitted with the appropriate plug or adapter for your country, and delivered working and ready to use.

The leather has kept its deep burgundy colour with light age-consistent wear, the gilt tooling still crisp, as the photographs show. Whoever read by this lamp before you kept its leather supple and its gilding bright. It belongs on a desk, a library table, or beside a reading chair.

The lamp is stitched and tooled leather over its frame, rewired before dispatch. It arrives professionally packed and fully insured — worldwide shipping and US import duties are included. For other destinations, local import taxes and duties may apply and are payable by the recipient. Returns are accepted within 30 days.
