Product Description
Solid brass double-arm table lamp with cast bronze base delivers engineered balance, structural integrity, and refined metal craftsmanship. A disciplined central column supports the mirrored arms, keeping the weight evenly distributed and visually controlled. The load travels cleanly from the shades through the curved brass arms into the rigid vertical shaft and settles into the dense, stepped bronze base that anchors the fixture with confidence. This intelligent mass placement reduces vibration, prevents tipping, and ensures long-term alignment even in high-use environments. The continuous metal construction, reinforced junctions, and serviceable assembly express traditional lighting built for decades rather than seasons. Its symmetry, warm alloy tones, and precise geometry create a calm architectural presence on any desk or console. Request a custom quote today.

Lamp Design Features
This lamp emphasizes mechanical logic, mass distribution, and long-term structural integrity. Each component is proportioned not only for visual balance but for compression-dominant stability and serviceability.
Overall structural concept
The lamp is engineered as a central compression column supporting two balanced horizontal arms. The load of the shades travels through a reinforced junction into the vertical shaft and disperses through a dense bronze base. Symmetry across the vertical axis eliminates torsional stress and prevents rotational drift over time.
Base construction
The cast bronze base is formed as a stepped, multi-tier element that widens toward the bottom. This geometry lowers the center of gravity, increases tipping resistance, dampens vibration, and anchors the structure securely. Bronze density allows a compact footprint while still providing sufficient counterweight for the projecting arms.
Central column and load transfer
The vertical brass stem acts as the primary compression member. It transfers the full upper assembly load, houses the electrical conduit, and maintains axial alignment. Its continuous length minimizes mechanical joints, reducing long-term loosening and misalignment while preserving structural clarity.
Arm geometry and balance
The mirrored double arms are formed from smoothly bent brass tubing. The continuous curvature distributes weight evenly across the central axis and eliminates point-load stress. Because the shades terminate directly above their support line, outward leverage is minimized and rigidity is increased.
Central junction
The reinforced connector node where arms meet the column functions as the structural hub. This thickened junction distributes load evenly and maintains alignment. The compact geometry suggests threaded or brazed joinery, supporting mechanical strength and long-term serviceability.
Shade holders and orientation
Each conical shade is mounted vertically below its arm termination. This configuration keeps the center of mass close to the structural axis, reduces bending stress, and prevents rotational torque at the arm ends. The shade mass remains concentrated near the mounting point for additional stability.
Material integrity
- Solid or heavy-gauge brass construction
- Improves thread durability and service life
- Resists deformation under repeated handling
- Tonal variation confirms real metal finish
Mechanical stability in use
Once assembled, the lamp operates as a compression-dominant structure. Vertical loads travel straight downward, lateral forces are neutralized by symmetry, and the dense base absorbs micro-movement. This ensures stability in high-use environments such as hospitality desks or reading tables.
Functional serviceability
The three-zone construction — base, column, and arm assembly — allows disassembly for rewiring, refinishing, and component replacement. This serviceable construction reflects traditional metal lighting practices rather than disposable fabrication.
