What is a filigree lamp?

The typical Oriental style where the metal of the lamp is opened up with many small holes in beautiful patterns is also called 'filigrain'. Filigrain lamps come in different types of metal, depending on what kind of atmosphere you want to create. Craftsmen have spent hours toiling to make the many small holes in the lamp, so when you buy a lamp like this, you get real quality. A lamp with a story. There are several models available, which can be attached to the ceiling, the wall, or you can place them on your table or floor. The lamps are often spherical or drop-shaped, which makes it fun to hang several of them side by side at different heights. A closed or open top, depending on what exactly you want, it's all possible.

The style of the Egyptian lamp

An Egyptian or Oriental-style lamp creates a unique, warm and oriental atmosphere in your home.

The material the pattern is made in and what forms the lampshade is often iron, brass or copper. Egyptian lamps in warmer shades of metal are especially popular, as they are ideally suited for spreading a warm atmosphere.

The Egyptian pendant lamp

They come complete with cord, suspension and ceiling cover, making it effortless to attach your beautiful lamp to the ceiling. Available in different shades of metal, so freedom to set your own mood! For example, a pendant lamp made of white metal is very romantic, while an Egyptian pendant lamp of the popular copper colour again has a more traditional, warm look.
