Brass table lamps to enhance your home

Along with other metallics, brass has long been enjoying a renaissance in interior design. We can see why – the warm, golden tones are cosier and less stark than chrome or nickel, and add interest without being too industrial, as can sometimes be the case with metal. Brass table lamps can be a lovely feature, and work particularly well in a room with candles or a real fire as they give off a bit of sparkle! Whether you choose brass as the main material or as an accent, there’s sure to be something in our round-up that proves a hit. Here’s what we’ve found.
