ORLANDO BRASS AND CLEAR CRYSTAL TABLE LAMP

ORLANDO BRASS AND CLEAR CRYSTAL TABLE LAMP

Modern brass. Stacked clear crystal. A black opaque parchment empire shade lined in matte gold — each material decision in the Orlando by WILLIAMSBURG and Robert Abbey is made with the same historical consciousness that has defined this collection since its establishment in 1936. Where the deep patina bronze version of this lamp leans into drama and contrast, the modern brass finish variant operates in a warmer, more luminous register — the brass finish over steel construction catching ambient light with a golden warmth that the crystal accents amplify and the black parchment shade anchors with commanding depth. Three clear crystal forms stacked between the brass hardware create a column that refracts light with prismatic precision, each crystal element contributing its own transparency and luminosity to the lamp’s overall visual character. The black opaque parchment empire shade with matte gold lining is the design decision that ties the composition together — its dark exterior silhouette providing dramatic counterpoint to the warm brass and crystal below, while the gold lining inside reflects the bulb’s output with a warmth that complements the brass finish throughout. This brass and crystal table lamp from the WILLIAMSBURG collection stands 30.75 inches tall and carries 19 pounds of material substance — a lamp that supports Colonial Williamsburg’s preservation mission with every purchase.

Elegant Design Details

The modern brass finish applied over the steel construction of the Orlando is warm and consistently luminous — sitting closer to the bright, polished end of the brass spectrum than an antique or aged alternative, its reflective surface catching ambient light across every hardware element of the lamp from base to finial. The stacked clear crystal column is the lamp’s most visually distinctive feature, its transparent forms positioned between the brass hardware elements to create a column that is simultaneously solid in structure and open in visual character — the crystal refracting ambient light from every angle while the brass above and below grounds the composition with metallic warmth. The black opaque parchment empire shade introduces the lamp’s most dramatic material contrast — its dark exterior creating a precise, historic silhouette that references the Colonial Williamsburg design heritage the collection draws from, while the matte gold lining inside reinforces the warmth of the brass hardware with every hour of illuminated use.

Soft, Ambient Illumination

The matte gold lining inside the black parchment empire shade is the key to this lamp’s illumination character. Rather than the neutral, clean output of a white or silver lined shade, the gold lining imparts a warm amber quality to the light it reflects through the shade fabric — producing illumination that flatters the lamp’s brass and crystal materials while casting a rich, inviting glow across living rooms, office desks, and master bedroom settings. The empire profile — 9 inches at the top, 15 inches at the bottom, and 13 inches on the slant — pushes light downward and outward with a directional warmth that suits atmospheric rather than broad ambient lighting priorities. The full range dimmer switch on the socket delivers continuous brightness adjustment, accepting up to a 150-watt Type A bulb, not included.

Size & Functional Features

At 30.75 inches tall with a 6.25-inch round base, the Orlando is proportioned for side tables, nightstands, office desks, and console surfaces where a lamp of genuine decorative authority anchors the surrounding space with historical elegance. The 15-inch shade bottom provides focused, directional light coverage well-suited to the lamp’s role as a sophisticated accent source across a range of interior settings. At 19 pounds, the steel and crystal construction is solidly grounded with no risk of instability on frequently used surfaces. The included 8-foot silver cord provides exceptional reach from outlet to surface while maintaining the lamp’s refined metallic palette.
