The same tall capsule frame as our floral naqashi lamp, painted without any color in it. Black ground, cream flowers, a large leaf-shaped medallion on the front and a band of petals round the foot. Unlit it reads almost like inlay work. Lit, the cream areas are the parts that glow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it look like switched on?
The skin is translucent, so the light comes through amber and the painted work turns into a silhouette. Use a warm 5W to 7W LED bulb. Anything brighter flattens the effect and anything hotter is bad for the skin.
Does it work in a room with no other color?
This is the one to pick for that. The black-and-cream version sits with dark wood and neutral walls where the colored lamps fight the room.
Does camel skin smell?
A new lamp has a faint leather smell for the first week or so, then it goes. Keep it out of damp rooms.
How do I clean it?
Dry dusting only, with a soft brush. Water marks the skin permanently and will not come out.
