Brass and Gold Floor Lamps

From antique brass to polished gold

This page holds floor lamps where brass or gold is the main finish, from the soft antique brass of the Endon Sylvie to the polished brass of the Eichholtz Las Palmas. The wider range sits in our floor lamps.

Reading lamps, tripods and statement pieces

Most take a single bulb, which suits a reading chair or the corner of a room. For more light, the Diyas Coniston has three lights and the Diyas Alexandra has six, with crystal. The Novena Tripod stands on three legs with a black fabric shade, and the Endon Ashcroft pairs aged brass with clear glass.

What to check

Heights run from about 1350mm to 2000mm. Measure from the floor to your eye line when seated if the lamp is for reading. Most take E27 bulbs, supplied separately, so check the cap and the maximum wattage on the product page.

Brass and Gold Floor Lamps Recommendations & Buying Advice

Most are not, and the product page tells you which. Many are a brass or gold finish over steel, which keeps the weight and the price down, while a few list brass itself. If solid metal matters to you, check the material line before you order. A plated finish still looks like brass, but it will not age in the same way as raw metal.

Antique brass is darker and more muted, with an aged look that suits traditional rooms and warm paint colours. Polished brass is brighter and more reflective, so it stands out more in a modern room. Satin brass sits between the two, with a soft sheen. Finishes vary by maker, so look at the product photographs rather than matching by name alone.

Most here stand between about 1.35m and 2m. Beside a chair, the bottom of the shade should sit near eye level when you are seated, so the bulb is not in your line of sight. In a corner, a taller lamp throws light higher up the wall. Measure the space and the seat height first, as a lamp can look very different in a room than in a photograph.

Most on this page take E27, and a smaller number take E14, B22 or G9. Nearly all are sold without a bulb, so check the cap, the number of bulbs and the maximum wattage on the product page. A warm white 2700K LED suits brass well, because cooler light can make a warm finish look flat and slightly grey.

Yes, especially in a simple shape. Satin or brushed finishes tend to sit better in a modern room than ornate antique designs. The Schuller Arcus in brushed gold and the Endon Lyon in satin brass are plainer choices here. Gold and brass also work well against dark walls and against black metalwork, so they need not match everything else in the room.

Rarely on its own, and most of these take a single bulb. Use one as a layer alongside a ceiling light or table lamps, placed where you read or sit. If you want more from one fitting, the multi-light Diyas and Novena designs give out more, as does a brighter bulb within the listed maximum. An uplit lamp will also bounce light from a pale ceiling.

In a very small room with no spare floor, or where a cable would cross a walkway. A wall light or table lamp may do the same job with less clutter. Also check the height, because the taller models at about 2m can look too large under a low ceiling. If children or pets are likely to knock it, look for a heavy, stable base.
