Tiffany Style Resin Cat Table Lamp

A cat sitting in a pool of coloured light. This small table lamp is cast in resin and finished in the manner of leaded Tiffany glass, with panels of amber, green and rose divided by dark leading lines, so when it is switched on the light comes through the colours rather than past them. Switched off it reads as an ornament; switched on it turns a corner of a room warm.

The glow is deliberately low and warm rather than bright, which makes it useful in the places a main light is too much: a bedside table, a hallway console, a bookshelf, a windowsill, the corner of a desk in the evening. It throws enough light to move around by and to take the hard edge off a television screen, without lighting the whole room.

It stands small enough to tuck between books or photo frames and is weighted enough in the base not to be knocked over easily. Dust it with a dry or barely damp cloth and do not use solvents on the resin, which dull the finish. Keep it away from water and run any mains cable clear of walkways. A quiet, characterful gift for a cat lover that does not involve another mug.
