What kind of bulb does the Claire Table Lamp take?

The lamp uses a standard bulb in a socket under the linen shade. Check the socket type and maximum wattage on the lamp's label before buying bulbs.

Does it have two bulbs or one?

It has dual pull chains, which are a switching feature. Whether each chain controls a separate bulb or both work one socket is not stated, so confirm before relying on it as a two-light lamp.

Is the gold leaf finish real gold?

It is hand-gilded gold leaf, a thin metallic finish applied by hand. That gives the striated look but makes the surface delicate, so handle it gently and avoid abrasive cleaners.

Will the linen shade make the light warm or neutral?

Natural linen filters light into a warm, soft glow rather than a bright white one. That suits bedrooms and living rooms but is less suited to task lighting.

How does it compare with a plain ceramic table lamp?

It offers more texture and a more decorative base than a plain ceramic lamp, with crystal detailing and pull chains. In return it needs gentler care and offers no adjustable or smart features.
