and
A tall column of glass, lit from within like a taper.
The Taper is a slim wall light: a 48 cm cylinder of glass held on a short, round-backed arm. The bulb sits at the top of the tube, so the glass glows along its whole length. Choose from seven glass colours and three metal finishes, and fit it pointing down for a soft wash or up for a taller line of light.
- Seven glass colours: clear, frosted, amber, smoke, bottle green, sky blue or milk white.
- Three finishes: gold, black or nickel, for the arm and wall plate.
- Up or down: the light can be mounted either way round.
- Bulb included: a GU10 LED, warm white.
Made for either side of a bed, a mirror or a doorway, and long hallways.

Questions
How long will delivery take?

Do I need an electrician?

A note from Selden Home
Chosen for British homes · contact@seldenhome.com
Dear reader,
Selden Home began with a problem most of us know: a room lit by one flat ceiling light, and nothing between the high street and the designer showroom to put it right.
So we choose every light for how it behaves once the evening draws in: the warmth of its glow, the glare, the pool it throws. Then we show it lit, in rooms like yours. If you are unsure about a size or a finish, send us a photo of your room and one of us will reply.
With warm regards,
From all of us at Selden Home
