Description
Presenting the "Horus Table Lamp" by Eichholtz, inspired by a commanding statue of the god Horus protecting King Nectanebo II (360–343 B.C.) in The Met's Egyptian art collection. This lamp pays tribute to the pharaoh's deep connection with Horus, the falcon god of kingship. Their association even gave rise to a cult, in which he was referred to as "Nectanebo-the-Falcon." This regal lamp, which boasts a copper-bronze finish and a linen-mix shade cafted in the Netherlands, stands at a height of 90 cm., with a maximum width of 50 cm. Illuminate your space with the majestic aura of ancient Egypt.
HISTORIC PROVENANCE
The Table Lamp Horus draws direct inspiration from a meta-greywacke sculpture of the god Horus protecting King Nectanebo II. Part of the Egyptian art collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the sculpture, dating to 360–343 B.C., speaks to the pharaoh’s deep—if not merging—connection to Horus, the falcon god of kingship. Nectanebo II was even referred to as “Nectanebo-the-Falcon.” The original statue’s strong, noble form has been reproduced for the Table Lamp Horus in a copper-bronze finish and a linen-mix shade handmade in the Netherlands.
Care instructions
HOW TO CARE FOR LIGHTING WITH A METALLIC FINISH AND GLASS OR ACRYLIC
To maintain the beauty of your luxury lighting, we recommend the following simple guidelines. When cleaning a lamp, make sure you unplug the power cord first. Always make sure sprays or liquids can not get in the lamp fittings.
Cleaning & Maintenance
For general maintenance, periodically dust off your lighting with a feather duster or a soft clean cloth, preferably weekly.
Metallic finishes
Use lukewarm water with a mild household detergent to clean metal finishes. Gently wipe the metallic surfaces, rods and parts with a soft, dampened cloth or chamois. Dry well with a clean, soft cloth. Never use cleaners with ammonia, bleach or hard chemicals and avoid paper towels or scouring pads.
Glass
Never use abrasive materials for cleaning glass as they may cause scratches. Use appropriate glass cleaning solutions and a microfiber cloth. If you are using a chemical cleaner, take care not to spill it on any of the surrounding metallic finishes. After drying with a soft cloth, you can use a piece of crumpled newspaper to give the glass added shine and sparkle.
Acrylic
Avoid commercial household cleaners because the chemicals in these products can dull and craze the acrylic. The best way to care for acrylic surfaces, rods and parts, is to clean with lukewarm water and a bit of liquid soap. Rinse with clear water and dry well. Always use soft cloths for cleaning as not to scratch the acrylic.
