The Florentine is purpose-built as a directional reading lamp — the gooseneck arm tilts the shade exactly where you want light. Best in spots where you'll actually use that adjustability:

Beside a reading chair (tilt over an open book) · at the bedside (tilt away when sleeping) · at a desk corner (angle toward the work surface) · in a living-room reading nook (direct light without flooding the whole room).

At H 157 cm, the shade sits at roughly seated-shoulder height when you're in an armchair — exactly the right elevation for reading without glare.

The brass gooseneck flexes by hand, holding any position you bend it to. Adjust the tilt and reach to point the shade up, down, forward, or sideways — perfect for redirecting light over an open book or away from a sleeping partner. No tools, no buttons, just bend and stay.

Yes — the scalloped lower edge of the shade is finished with a fine crochet-trim border applied as a separate handmade detail. Slight variation in stitch count, scallop depth, or trim alignment between pieces is part of the handmade character. The pleated body of the shade is also tensioned over a metal frame and may show subtle differences in pleat depth from one lamp to the next.

Foot-switch on/off located on the cord — toe-tap to turn on or off without bending down. The lamp ships with a 150 cm / 59″ cord and switch plug ready to plug into a standard outlet (no electrician needed).

The lamp itself is not dimmable. For ambiance control, use a dimmable smart bulb (E26/E27, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) and adjust brightness via phone app or voice assistant.
