The whitewash finish of these lamps invites a sense of aged charm to any room. Etched details and intriguing accents on the base and column provide traditional intrigue and classic confidence. The bell shades allow for ample light, casting light from the top and a wide illumination range at the bottom. This lamp set comes with two tabletop dimmers, one for each lamp, which allows you to control the level of lighting. Simply insert the lamp plug into the dimmer outlet, and then slide the switch on the control to dim or brighten the lighting. Dimmers are compatible with halogen and incandescent bulbs, and most dimmable Cfl and Led bulb designs.
