Weather life's storms with a bright light.
We like eating dinner by a softer glow than overhead lights. Candles or lamps set the best mood, and this particular lamp (designed by Weems & Plath, maker of nautical and weather instruments) has character in every curve. The base is crafted of polished, lacquered solid cast brass. A disposable fuel cell sits inside the base and a delicate glass chimney fits securely on top.

So pretty
We love this! It feels so nice to have on a bedside table. It almost feels like the old days ... except much better because we also have amazing sheets and a temperature controlled bedroom. The perfect mix of nostalgia and modern luxury!
