Brass and Gold Table Lamps

Brass and gold for every room

Here you will find table lamps where brass or gold is the main finish, in antique, aged, satin, brushed and polished looks. Elstead, Eichholtz, Endon and Diyas make up most of the range. All our other lamps are in table lamps.

Bedside, sideboard and statement sizes

The Eichholtz Scorpios Small stands at 250mm for a bedside table, the Endon Lyon in satin brass is a plain modern option, and the Diyas Coniston and Kos bring several lights and crystal for a console or sideboard. The Gilded Nola lamps have a distressed gold finish that suits a period room.

Bulbs and pairs

Most take a single E27 bulb, sold separately. If you are buying a pair for bedside tables or a sideboard, check that the height works with the furniture before you order.

Brass and Gold Table Lamps Recommendations & Buying Advice

Brass usually has a warmer, more yellow tone, and gold finishes are often a little brighter or richer, but makers use the names differently. Antique brass and aged gold can look almost the same in a room. We group them here because shoppers often compare them directly. Check the product photographs and the finish line rather than relying on the name.

As a starting point, look at a lamp about as tall as the bedside table, and keep the shade narrower than the table top. The bottom of the shade should sit near eye level when you are sitting up in bed. Lamps here run from 250mm to just over a metre, so measure the table first, and look for Small or Mini in the title.

It depends on the lamp, so check the title and product page. Many name a shade, such as the Elstead Apollo with white shade or the Eichholtz Reef, and others may be sold as a base only. Nearly all are sold without a bulb. If a lamp comes without a shade, you can browse our lamp shades, but measure the base first.

Most here take E27, and a smaller number take E14, B22 or G9. A warm white 2700K LED is a good match for brass, because it keeps the metal looking warm. If the bulb will be on show, choose a good looking one. Check whether the lamp and bulb are dimmable before you pair them with a dimmer, as listings vary.

That depends on the material and coating, so read the product page. Raw or solid brass can age and darken over time, which many people like. Plated and lacquered finishes are more stable, and many lamps here are a brass or gold finish over steel. To clean one, use a soft dry cloth and avoid polish or abrasive products unless the maker recommends them.

Neither is better, but they do different jobs. Brass and gold add warmth, and they suit dark walls, wood and natural materials. Chrome and nickel look cooler and sharper against white, grey and glass. If your handles and taps are chrome, a brass lamp can still work as a single warm note. Our chrome and nickel table lamps are a useful comparison.

When you need bright task light for close work, as many decorative lamps are made for atmosphere rather than reading. A desk lamp with an adjustable head will do that job better, and a few here, such as the Astro Enna in matt gold, are made for it. Also avoid heavy multi-light lamps on narrow shelves or tables that are easily knocked.
