Meet Our Hand‑Turned Lamp Base: Small Scale, Big Impact

Meet Our Hand‑Turned Lamp Base: Small Scale, Big Impact

If you loved our autumn colour story, say hello to the newest way to bring that warmth home: our wooden lamp base, designed for compact corners and cosy nooks. Hand‑turned in Britain from sustainable mango wood, fitted with high‑quality brass components, and painted and finished in our Cheshire studio, each base is made to last and to glow beautifully with one of our signature lampshades.


Why Mango Wood?

Mango wood is a fast‑growing, responsibly sourced hardwood with a naturally rich grain—strong enough for everyday use yet light on the planet. Every base starts with this solid foundation, then we refine, paint and finish for a smooth, durable surface.

Quick facts

  • Solid mango wood

  • Height: 29 cm (11½")

  • UK 3‑pin plug, fully tested to EU safety standards

  • Pairs perfectly with a 20 cm lampshade (ideal for bedsides, desks and side tables)


Finishes to Suit Your Style

Choose a finish that complements your space—or request a custom colour for a perfect match.

  • Waxed Natural: A clear, hand‑waxed finish that celebrates the grain. Beautiful with warm neutrals, terracotta or deep blues.

  • Painted Light Sage Green: Calm and earthy; pairs with ochre, rust and soft pinks.

  • Painted Light Grey: A modern classic; works with monochrome schemes or bold, saturated shades.

  • Bespoke Colour: Prefer another shade? Other paint colours are available—just ask.

Top Tip: Repeat your lamp base colour in two small accents (a cushion piped edge and a picture frame) to pull the whole room together.


Shade Pairing Made Easy

This base is designed for a 20 cm lampshade—a sweet spot size for bedside tables and petite side tables. After ordering, I’ll be in touch to help you choose from our Shadow Bright shades or to create a custom colour that ties into your scheme.

Styling ideas

  • Bedside: Light Sage base + 20 cm geometric shade for a calm, patterned glow.

  • Living room: Waxed Natural base + textured neutral shade to layer with wood tones.

  • Desk nook: Light Grey base + retro print shade for a focused yet cheerful workspace.


Designed for Everyday Living

  • Hand‑turned in Britain, finished in Cheshire

  • Brass fittings for quality and longevity

  • Painted with high‑quality, durable paint

  • Wipe‑clean finish for easy care

Care Tip: Dust with a soft cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. For the Waxed Natural finish, a light furniture wax once or twice a year keeps the sheen fresh.
