Introduced in 1994, the Kilkenny lamp from Waterford Crystal cuts an impressive figure suited to grand rooms and elegant décor. Abundant and airy, the lamp's crystal base creates a clear beauty, in perfect balance to its imposing height and ample shade diameter. The shiny brass foot forms a suitable ground for the soaring silhouette, while the crystal's delicate combination of leaf and wedge cuts refracts and catches the ambient light beautifully. Standing 29 inches high, the lamp is a good size for parlor consoles, dining room side tables, and dramatic end tables in the living room. It is finished with a white fabric coolie shade, softly faceted and trimmed in the same material, which measures 21-1/2 inches in diameter. The lamp turns on with a three-way switch at the base of the socket and takes a maximum of a 100-watt bulb. Simple assembly is required. --Emily Bedard
