Malvern 2 Light Table Lamp

The Malvern TL2 is a 510 mm two-light table lamp in antique silver, in iron, crystal and fabric — two E14 globes to 25 W each, not supplied.

Two lights on a table lamp — and what that actually buys

Most table lamps in this catalogue take one globe. The Malvern takes two, and that is a real difference rather than a marketing point:

• Twice the output from the same footprint — genuinely enough to read by, where a single 25 W-max lamp often is not.
• Even light across a wide shade. At 340 mm wide, one central globe would light the middle of the shade brightly and the edges dimly; two spread it evenly.
• Redundancy. When one globe goes, the lamp still works.

Our record holds 50 W as the wattage, which is the total for the pair — each holder takes 25 W.

Crystal and fabric — and why the pairing suits a table lamp

Crystal on a pendant works by throwing refracted light around a room from above. On a table lamp, sitting at eye level an arm's length away, undiffused crystal would be uncomfortable to sit beside.

The Malvern's fabric shade solves that: it hides the globes and throws light up and down, while the crystal dressing on the frame catches that light at table level and sparkles quietly. You get the decorative quality of crystal without the glare — which is exactly the right arrangement for a lamp you sit next to.

510 mm tall, 340 wide

A substantial lamp — taller than the 480 mm Stylin and the 475 mm Artizo, and wide at 340 mm. That puts the bottom of the shade above a seated eye line, so light comes down onto the page rather than across it, and it makes the lamp a console, sideboard or wide bedside piece rather than a small-table one.

Its 140 mm depth is worth noting: the Malvern is much wider than it is deep, so it sits close against a wall without projecting into the room — which suits a narrow console or a hall table.

The globes — and the fabric makes it easy

Two E14 to 25 W each — 50 W total, not supplied. E14 is the small screw base, SES. Because the fabric hides them, brightness and warmth are the only decisions.

Where it works

• Consoles, sideboards and hall tables — wide, and shallow front to back.
• Beside a reading chair — two globes is genuinely enough to read by.
• Wide bedside tables, in grey, taupe and muted rooms.
• ⚠ Ask us for the real weight — the recorded one is wrong by a hundred times.
• ⚠ Buy the two globes together, or the shade lights unevenly.

Specifying it

510 mm high by 340 mm wide by 140 mm deep, in iron, crystal and fabric, antique silver. ⚠ Weight is not reliably recorded — the only figure attached is a 280 kg box weight, which is wrong. Ask us. Two E14 (SES) globes to 25 W each — 50 W total, not supplied; dimming is globe dependent and needs an inline or plug-in dimmer. 240 V, Class II — double insulated, IP20 — indoor and dry locations only. Warranty is three years, as a replacement warranty.
