This glorious Paua shell lamp is amazing. The shell is fixed to a flexible metal shaft that bends to a multitude of positons. The halogen bulb shines through the shell to create a sensual orange glow. It can be hard wired to an existing fitting or placed anywhere you feel. Brilliant as a backlight for paintings, a reading lamp by the bed or a feature on any wall. This lamp will fill the room with joyous light!
