Quintiesse Havering QN-HAVERING-TL table lamp, turquoise, green shade, E27

Quintiesse Havering QN-HAVERING-TL is a table lamp with an azure-turquoise ceramic body, aged-brass details and a green faux-silk shade. The tapered shade has a gold laminate lining. This is the green-shade version of Havering, not the separate family variant supplied with a light ivory shade.

Allow room for the whole shade

The overall height is 73.5 cm and the shade measures 41 cm across. Compare both dimensions with the depth of your console, chest of drawers or sofa-side table and the space available above it. Although the base diameter is 23 cm, the shade extends beyond that footprint. Checking the base alone will therefore not tell you whether the complete lamp fits the proposed position.

The same consideration matters on a bedside table, where the shade may occupy more space than expected. Havering can provide an additional lighting position on furniture in a living room, dining room or study. It is intended for interiors and its height is fixed rather than adjustable.

Choose the E27 bulb separately

There is one E27 socket, but no bulb is supplied. Quintiesse rates Havering for a bulb up to 60 W and also permits its LED equivalent. The chosen source determines brightness and light colour; the green shade is not a colour-temperature specification. The lamp is plug-powered and has a gold plastic inline switch on its gold cable. Compatibility with dimmable smart bulbs does not mean that a dimmer is built into the fitting.

A glaze pattern specific to each piece

The turquoise finish has a lightly speckled effect, while the gold reactive crackle glaze produces an individual pattern on every lamp. Small differences from the photographed example are therefore part of the finish. The rounded body, fabric shade and brass accents suit classic, modern-classic and glamour schemes. The ceramic base is made in Portugal. The shade is handcrafted in the UK, where the lamp is also assembled, so the ceramic component's origin and the place of final assembly are distinct.
