Vesuvius Table Lamp · Brushed Brass · Thumprints 1253-ASL-2134

Vesuvius is a study in proportion: a metal form in brushed brass sized to anchor a room without crowding it.

The white silk hardback shade is the second half of the design. Hardback shades hold a crisp edge for years and spread light evenly through the fabric instead of throwing hot spots onto the wall.

The Design

Thumprints describes it simply: “Brushed Brass Metal Table Lamp with Glass Accent / Silk Hardback Drum Shade.” The finish shown is brushed brass.

Dimensions & Details

Where It’s Best Placed

Picture it on living room side tables or bedroom nightstands; it also finishes console tables in an entry beautifully. For trade projects it suits hotel suites and model homes, where a lamp with real materials and a considered shade quietly raises the room.

Who This Is Not For

• Anyone who needs a lamp with bulbs included: bring your own (see the light source above).
• Smart-bulb households that want app control from a single dimmable bulb; a 3-way socket works best with 3-way bulbs.
• Buyers who want to change their mind later: like every order with us, it is final sale.

Questions About the Design

What is the Vesuvius made of?

A metal body, finished in brushed brass, under a white silk hardback shade.

Tell me about the shade.

It is white silk hardback, 14 in top, 14 in bottom, 10 in on the slant. Thumprints lists shades as top by bottom by side, measured along the slant.

Will every lamp look exactly like the photo?

Yes, allowing for screen color. The finish is applied by hand, so tiny variations are normal and a sign of real craft.

What bulbs work best?

1 x 150 W max, 3-way E26 medium base (bulbs not included). A 3-way LED bulb in a warm 2700K gives you three light levels from one switch.

Who designs Thumprints lamps?

The studio was founded by designer Allison Davis in 2002 and still designs its own collections, mixing art glass, ceramic, stone, wood and metal with tailored shades.

About Thumprints

Thumprints began in 2002 in Little Rock, Arkansas, when designer Allison Davis started making lamps in her basement from found objects, local pottery and shades she covered by hand. That first collection became a wholesale studio the same year, built on the idea that a light should be as distinctive as a thumbprint. Since 2014 the studio has worked from a lighting campus outside Chicago, keeping its mix of wood, ceramic, art glass, natural stone, metal and fine shade fabrics.
