Description
Jeanne’s story
This cylindrical mould-pressed glass globe was sleeping in a box, forgotten in the storage room of a Lisbon couple who were clearing out their home. Yet its sharp, regular diamond points bore witness to a time when objects were made to last — and to dazzle.
We brought it back to our Lisbon workshop, mounted it onto a polished gold brass socket and dressed it in a copper-rose twisted cord. And so Jeanne was born — a hand lamp with a strong personality, ready to give this exceptional glass a second life.
How to use your Jeanne hand lamp
The Jeanne hand lamp can be gently placed on a bedside table, a chest of drawers or a side table. When lit, its diamond points project a cascade of sparkling reflections across the walls and ceiling — a unique lighting effect every time. Need a different cord length? 9 options are available on request.
Good to know: Every vintage lamp available on our online shop Alfama Chic has its own story. Sourced and assembled with care and passion, our globes sometimes bear the marks of time. Any minor imperfection is of course mentioned in the description.
