White Mosaic Lamps

Why choose a white mosaic lamp

A white mosaic lamp is the quiet one in our range, until you switch it on. By day it reads as white and clear glass, in some designs set against frosted white beadwork, calm enough for the most neutral room. Lit, it casts a crisp, geometric pattern of light and shadow across the walls, so the design of the globe is drawn out in light rather than colour.

The globe is made the same way as every lamp we sell. In Türkiye, artisans hand-cut natural white and clear glass into small diamonds and squares, set each piece and bead by hand, then grout and polish the globe. In some designs, the polishing brings out the contrast between matte white glass and mirrored pieces. It is mounted on hand-aged antique brass, whose warm tone suits the white glass. No two globes are alike, even within the same design.

How to choose a white lamp

There are three looks to choose between.

• Plain white: white and clear glass, some with white beadwork, for a soft, even glow and the calmest effect.
• White mirrored: mirror-like pieces set among the white catch the light and add sparkle, both by day and when lit.
• White star: a star motif at the centre of the globe, cast across the walls as a crisp star pattern.

Where a lamp has lit photos, look at those too: white designs show their character most clearly once switched on. White comes in all four single-globe styles, in small, medium and large globes, and in a few chandeliers and floor lamps. Compare the swan neck table lamps for a globe that hangs, or the mosaic pendant lamps for light from above.

Where white looks best

White glass suits rooms where you want pattern without adding colour: a Scandinavian-style living room, a white bedroom or a minimal hallway. Because it works with any colour scheme, it is a safe choice for a room that may be redecorated, and a thoughtful wedding or housewarming gift when you do not know the décor. A white pendant over a dining table casts its pattern across the walls without adding strong colour to the room.

White also pairs well with other colours. Next to blue mosaic lamps, it makes a crisp blue and white scheme, and beside amber it cools down a warm room. However you combine them, two single-globe lamps save 10% each and three or more save 15% each.

Bulb, safety and care

Each single-globe white lamp takes an E14 bulb, and an E14 LED bulb is included; chandeliers and floor lamps include one for every globe. The bulb is warm-coloured, which gives the white glass a soft warmth, and LED keeps the glow efficient and low in heat.

All white lamps are CE certified; table and floor lamps come with a plug, while pendants, wall sconces and chandeliers are hardwired by an electrician. Dust the globe with a soft, dry cloth after switching off the power. Place your order before 3pm for free next-day UK delivery, with 30-day returns on eligible items if the lamp is not quite right.
