The Daphne Table Lamp looks as if it is made of one material in two distinctive finishes but the base is made of wood while the other elements on the navy-blue table lamp are made of iron and brass. The shape of the oval shade with its painted gold trim is a design detail, as is the gold finish on the interior of the shade that will warm the light bouncing off it. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth or static duster. Always avoid the use of harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they may cause damage to the item's finish. Due to the use of natural materials, handmade craftsmanship, or hand finishing, expect some color variances. Hand crafted pieces may have slight size differences. Lamps may require minimal assembly such as attaching harp to base and applying shade with finial.
