11 Piano Lamps

You no longer need to have a piano to enjoy a piano lamp. But what is a piano lamp? Traditionally used to illuminate the piano keys and sheet music during recitals and concerts, piano lights can now be used as desk lamps, table lamps and even bedside table lamps. A classic piano lamp has a horizontal shade, much like a picture light, that is hooded to avoid direct glare. They are usually adjustable with a weighted base and counterweighted arm, and this is because they used to have to remain stable while the light leant over the edge of the piano. A traditional piano light will usually be brass or chrome, although these days the styles and materials can vary greatly. More

A piano lamp is a great addition to a desk or table as it gives a soft but directional light, ideal for an overall soft glow or for focusing on a particular task directly under the lamp. Piano lights can look sleek and modern but also traditional and even retro, so depending on the style you choose, you could find a piano lamp to fit in with any interior design. If you're worried about wires trailing all over your living room or bedroom, there are battery powered piano lamps as well as electrical, and you can even find piano lights that clip on to surfaces so can be placed anywhere you like.
