PLATED BRASS BUFFET TABLE LAMP

PLATED BRASS BUFFET TABLE LAMP

For a dining room sideboard, entryway console, or any surface that demands vertical presence, the right lamp has to earn its height. This brass buffet table lamp from Uttermost’s Dempsey collection rises to 35 inches on a metal base finished in plated brass — warm, polished, and proportioned for the tall, narrow footprint that buffet lamps are specifically designed to occupy. A black dolomite marble orb accent punctuates the base with a moment of contrast, grounding the warmth of the brass with a cool, dark counterpoint. The result is a lamp that reads as both classic and current — collected rather than coordinated.

Elegant Design Details

The Dempsey is built on a square metal base measuring 5¾ inches wide — a deliberate choice that gives the lamp stability and a clean geometric foundation without competing with the vertical drama of the full 35-inch height. The plated brass finish is consistent and refined, applied over a solid metal construction that accounts for the lamp’s substantial 12-pound weight. The black dolomite marble orb sits as a sculptural accent within the base composition, adding material variety and visual weight at a critical point in the silhouette. A white linen fabric tapered round hardback shade completes the design — tight in profile, clean in execution, and neutral enough to work across a wide range of interior palettes without requiring a redesign of the room around it.

Soft, Ambient Illumination

The white linen hardback shade is tapered and round, measuring 11 inches at the top, 12 inches at the bottom, and 10 inches high — a compact, well-proportioned diffuser that keeps light output controlled and directional without cutting the room off entirely. Light passes warmly through the linen, casting a soft glow upward and downward from the shade edges while the hardback liner maintains the shade’s crisp structure over time. The 3-way socket switch allows output to be dialed between low ambient, mid-level accent, and full functional illumination — no separate dimmer required. At buffet height, the light source sits well above the surface, making it equally effective as a mood lamp and a practical task light for console or sideboard settings.

Size & Functional Features

At 35 inches tall with a 5¾-inch square base footprint, the Dempsey is purpose-built for buffets, sideboards, tall consoles, and any surface where a standard table lamp would sit too low or look too wide. The lamp weighs 12 pounds — solid and stable, with no risk of tipping on a busy surface. It takes one maximum 150-watt E26 standard-medium base bulb, not included, controlled via a 3-way socket switch on the lamp body. The plated brass over metal construction is built for longevity, and the black dolomite marble orb accent adds a natural material element that resists dating. Best suited to modern traditional, transitional, Art Deco-influenced, and contemporary classic interiors where brass hardware and marble accents are recurring design elements.
