Price History
Description
The Opal table lamp is sleek and simple with a lantern-inspired design. Boasting clean lines and crisp white or grey glass shade with a ridged finish, it is the perfect accent to any side table, desk or bedside dresser. Understated architectural elements include the fine opal shade and brass or gunmetal tripod frame. Delicate yet impactful. Casts a warm glow when illuminated.
Our Stylist Says
I love this lamp for its striking combination of textures and proportions. The opal glass shade provides soft, diffused light, perfect for creating a warm, inviting atmosphere in living rooms or bedrooms. Its cocoa marble base adds a sophisticated touch and works especially well in interiors that feature natural materials or a neutral colour palette. It’s a versatile piece that can sit on side tables, consoles, or even as a statement in a corner. For styling tips, pair it with other marble accessories or warm-toned textiles to enhance its richness, and keep the surrounding accessories minimal to let the lamp stand as a design feature.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
