John Lewis & Partners Albert Turned Stick Lamp Base, Tall, Dark Wood

This charming lamp base of natural beauty features a stem of dark wood that will sit in both a traditional and contemporary household.

Perfect for pairing with a natural fabric shade to diffuse the light, we recommend using a 30cm and above shade.

Mango wood is one of the most popular wood types in the UK and is often seen as a greener alternative to some other woods as they are quickly replaceable.

This wood is one of the sturdiest woods in the world due to the densely packed grains that are able to resist all kinds of knocks and bangs.

Thanks to its close-knit grain, this wood is one of the smoothest and most satisfying textures around once finished. But despite its fine grain, the material is excellent for staining and waxing.
