Beautiful Craftsmanship
I bought this floor lamp two years ago and absolutely love it and Original BTC. It is functional for reading and the light is beautiful coming through the natural (white) porcelain shade. A word of warning, my dog knocked over the lamp in a fit of exuberance and broke the shade, but I was able to order another.
Very nice!
This lamp is small scale - made to place next to a chair. For our purposes, the size and level of illumination is just right. I like that the shade allows a soft glow of light through the porcelain, making for more even light than a harsh metal shade. The lamp is very well made. The clamp easily adjusts to orient the lamp head. The lamp arrived in good condition double-boxed, with bubble wrap between the two boxes. Inside the manufacturer's box, the lamp was very well packed again. I used a round, General Electric G25 6.5 watt 120 volt LED bulb rated 2,700K and at 500 lumens. The bulb just barely fit in the shade, due to it's larger than normal diameter. The light the bulb puts off is just right.
