POLISHED NICKEL CONCAVE TABLE LAMP

POLISHED NICKEL CONCAVE TABLE LAMP

Soft ivory. Structured metal. A silhouette that curves inward where most lamp bases curve out. The Margeaux polished nickel table lamp by Robert Abbey is defined by its concave form — a steel base that draws inward at the body rather than swelling outward, creating a silhouette that is immediately distinct from conventional column or vase profiles. Polished nickel finish over steel construction gives the base a mirror-bright surface that reflects ambient light with cool, contemporary precision, while matte nickel accents introduce deliberate contrast between reflective and absorptive metallic surfaces within the same composition. A white organza oval shade completes the lamp with a translucent, luminous quality that fabric shades rarely achieve — organza passes light rather than simply diffusing it, producing a glow that is flattering, even, and distinctly refined. At 28 inches tall and 14 pounds, the Margeaux brings glamour to any surface without requiring it of the room around it.

Elegant Design Details

The concave form is the Margeaux’s defining design gesture — an inward curve that creates tension and visual interest where a conventional lamp base would simply occupy space. In polished nickel, that concave surface becomes a reflective interior that captures and redirects ambient light from within the curve, making the base visually active from every angle. Matte nickel accents appear at specific points across the steel construction, their non-reflective surface providing deliberate contrast against the polished finish — a detail that gives the lamp depth and material sophistication without introducing color or pattern. The white organza oval shade is the material choice that elevates the Margeaux above standard metal table lamps — organza’s open, lightweight weave allows light to pass through the fabric with a luminosity that denser shade materials block, producing a shade that appears to glow from within rather than simply diffusing light outward.

Soft, Ambient Illumination

The white organza oval shade produces illumination of a distinctly different quality than linen, polyester, or cotton alternatives — organza’s translucent weave allows light to transmit through the fabric with exceptional evenness and warmth, creating a flattering, room-filling glow that suits the Margeaux’s glamorous material positioning throughout. The oval shade profile — 18.5 inches wide at the top, 19 inches at the bottom, and 9.5 inches deep — distributes light broadly across both the width and depth of the surrounding space, making it particularly effective on console tables and sideboards where light needs to reach across a wider surface area. The full range dimmer switch at the socket provides continuous brightness control from maximum output down to the lowest ambient setting, allowing the lamp’s organza glow to be tuned precisely to the mood and time of day without requiring a smart bulb or wall dimmer.

Size & Functional Features

At 28 inches tall overall with a 6-inch wide base, the Margeaux occupies a compact, surface-friendly footprint that suits console tables, nightstands, sideboards, and living room end tables where a lamp of refined presence is needed without consuming significant surface depth. The base measures just 0.75 inches deep at its most concave point — a dimension that reflects the lamp’s dramatic inward curve and distinguishes its profile from any conventionally shaped alternative. The oval shade’s 9.5-inch depth suits console and sideboard placements where the shade’s front-to-back spread needs to remain contained within the table’s surface boundary. At 14 pounds, the steel construction provides confident stability appropriate to the lamp’s 28-inch stature, and the 8-foot silver cord complements the polished nickel finish with consistent metallic continuity from socket to plug.
