HIGH WHITE TABLE LAMP

HIGH WHITE TABLE LAMP

Most table lamps light a room. This one defines it. The Bassett Mirror Company Nigel stands 31 inches tall in a clean, confident white that does not ask permission to take up space. White at this scale is not a neutral choice — it is a compositional one, the lamp’s pale body drawing light toward itself and redistributing it softly across whatever surface it occupies. As a high white table lamp, the Nigel operates across an unusually wide range of interior styles — Scandinavian, coastal, organic modern, transitional, and contemporary spaces all absorb a white lamp of this proportion naturally and without adjustment. The 18-inch shade width ensures the lamp reads as generous and room-filling rather than slender and understated, while the 5.8-inch base keeps the footprint disciplined and placement-flexible. Bassett Mirror Company has built a reputation on pieces that prioritize form integrity over decorative complexity, and the Nigel is a precise expression of that restraint. At 9 pounds, it carries enough lamp weight to feel substantial without making repositioning difficult — a balance that speaks to considered design rather than accidental proportion.

Elegant Design Details

The Nigel’s design strength lies in what it does not do. No metallic accents, no contrasting finishes, no applied texture competing for attention — just a clean white form at a height that commands respect. Bassett Mirror Company has always understood that restraint is its own form of sophistication, and the Nigel makes that case at 31 inches without equivocation. The white finish across the base and shade creates a unified, seamless silhouette that reads as a single object rather than an assembly of components — a quality that is harder to achieve than it appears. In rooms already carrying pattern, color, or material complexity, the Nigel functions as a visual anchor. In quieter, more minimal spaces, it becomes the room’s defining element by virtue of its scale and purity alone.

Soft, Ambient Illumination

A white shade at 18 inches wide is one of the most effective formats for producing clean, even ambient light — the pale interior reflecting the bulb’s output outward with minimal color shift or diffusion loss. The Nigel’s shade height and width at this lamp scale produce a broad, room-filling spread of light that suits living rooms and bedroom arrangements where a generous ambient source is the priority. At a maximum of 100 watts through a single standard base bulb, the lamp has sufficient output range to function as a primary light source in mid-sized rooms or as a layered ambient contributor alongside overhead lighting. A warm white bulb softens the lamp’s cool white palette into something more inviting without compromising the clean visual character of the Nigel’s overall form.

Size & Functional Features

At 31.0 inches tall and 18.0 inches wide, the Nigel occupies the upper tier of standard table lamp sizing — a height that suits large nightstands, wide console tables, and generous living room side tables where presence at scale is an asset. The 5.8-inch base is notably slender for a lamp of this height and shade width, keeping the footprint tight and placement options broad across surfaces where a wider base would crowd surrounding objects. At 9.0 pounds the lamp is stable without being immovable, and a single standard base bulb at up to 100 watts keeps maintenance completely uncomplicated. The all-white palette and clean silhouette make the Nigel one of the most versatile lamps available at this scale.
