Ralph Lauren Benton Desk Lamp

The natural brass finish is unlacquered, meaning it will gradually develop a unique, darkened patina as it reacts to air and touch. This aging process is intentional and adds character to the lamp, though you can use a brass polish if you prefer to maintain its original, bright luster.

Yes, the lamp is weighted at 11 pounds, which provides a solid, stable base. Even when the arm is extended to its maximum height of 29.25 inches, the construction remains secure for focused task lighting.

The Benton Desk Lamp uses an E26 base bulb with a maximum wattage of 40 watts. We recommend using an LED equivalent to achieve the desired brightness while keeping energy consumption low.

The leather shade is a high-quality, natural material that should be kept away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Simply dust it occasionally with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or leather conditioners that might alter the finish.

The lamp features a highly adjustable arm and neck, allowing you to pivot and extend the light source precisely where you need it. This makes it particularly effective for detailed work or reading, as you can easily direct the beam to minimize glare.
