Oriental lamps : faites le bon choix

A touch of the Orient bathes the room, casting precise shadows and warm coppery reflections.

The oriental lamp stands out as a focal point, both a light source and a piece of craftsmanship. Inspired by Moroccan, Turkish or Egyptian traditions, it is available as table lamps, pendant lights, wall lights and ceiling lights, each crafted in quality materials such as pierced brass, hammered copper, coloured glass or mosaic. Sizes range from small models around 20 cm high, perfect as a bedside lamp, to XXL pendants up to 60 cm across for the dining room. Oriental lamps are far more than decorative objects: they diffuse and filter the light, creating a defined ambience depending on the intricacy of their patterns and the chosen colour temperature (2,700 to 3,000 K for a warm atmosphere, up to 4,000 K for a neutral effect).

What materials and finishes define an authentic oriental lamp?

Pierced brass: Hand-worked brass creates geometric or floral patterns of great finesse. A 35 cm tall model offers a soft, diffused glow, ideal for a reading nook or hallway. Brass is typically 1–2 mm thick, ensuring both durability and crisp, clean cut-outs.

Coloured glass: Oriental mosaic lamps, hand-assembled piece by piece, scatter colourful reflections onto your walls. A 25 cm globe lights up a bedside table efficiently (recommended 400–600 lumens). Stained glass supports LED bulbs up to 8 W without altering the colour effect.

Hammered copper: Patinated or polished copper brings a more rustic finish. Hammered copper pendant lights, 40–50 cm in diameter, suit living rooms of 15–20 m². For these, choose a filament bulb to highlight the inside texture.

For a wall-mounted option, an oriental wall light adds interest to a hallway or frames a mirror, keeping the richness of intricate patterns.

Which oriental lamp for each room?

Oriental pendant light: Above a dining table, a 50 cm oriental pendant should be hung 75–85 cm above the surface for perfect illumination without glare. In a 12–15 m² room, aim for a total of 800–1,000 lumens. Densely patterned shades filter more light, ideal for a cosy mood.

For a stunning effect in the living room, the oriental pendant light pairs beautifully with pale walls and natural textiles, enhancing shadow play.

Oriental table lamp: On a console or bedside table, pick a 25–35 cm high model with an LED bulb of 4–6 W (300–500 lumens). Oriental table lamps in brass or mosaic glass offer targeted light, perfect for reading or creating a warm night-time atmosphere.

Oriental chandelier: In a hallway or living space with a high ceiling (over 2.8 m), the oriental chandelier—often made of multiple globes or lanterns at varying heights—becomes a key feature. A total height of 80 cm can be used down to 2.1 m above the floor in a staircase. A 20 m² room needs 1,200–1,500 lumens spread across the sources.

For a statement piece, the oriental chandelier brings impact to larger areas, combining elaborate patterns with powerful lighting.

Installation and care advice for oriental lamps

Height placement: For an oriental pendant, keep it 75–90 cm above a table, or at least 2.1 m from the floor in walkways. Oriental wall lights are best installed at 1.6 m high for ambient lighting without glare.

Bulb choice: Opt for LED bulbs with E27 or E14 fittings, depending on the model, with a colour temperature of 2,700–3,000 K to emphasise warmth. Lamps with intricate cut-outs take up to 10 W without overheating, but for small globes, use a maximum of 6 W.

Care: Regularly dust brass or copper with a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. For mosaic glass, use a soft brush for crevices. Avoid excess moisture except with IP44-rated models suitable for bathrooms.

To create harmony, team your oriental lamp with Moroccan lights in matching finishes, or with Moroccan pendant lights for a coordinated look in spacious rooms.
