How do I clean a stone bedside lamp?

Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust from the marble, onyx or alabaster surface without applying moisture or harsh cleaning agents. Avoid chemical sprays that can penetrate porous stone and alter the polished finish over time.

Are these lamps heavy enough for a bedside table?

Solid stone construction gives these pieces substantial weight, preventing them from tipping over easily during evening use. This density anchors the lamp firmly beside a bed, even when fitted with larger fabric shades.

Can I replace the lampshade safely?

Modern standard fittings allow you to swap fabric shades to match your bedroom colour scheme and light diffusion needs. Ensure the replacement shade suits the scale of the stone base and uses appropriate bulb wattages.

How do I tell marble from alabaster?

Marble presents a hard, crystalline surface with distinct mineral veining, while alabaster feels softer and transmits light through its body. Alabaster often shows a warm, milky translucency when illuminated, whereas marble remains more opaque.
