Wicker Wall Light with a Pull Chain Switch
A hand-woven wicker shade, shaped like a small basket turned upside down, hung from a black gooseneck arm — with a brass pull chain hanging from the back plate. Most wicker wall lights need a wall switch wired in; this one switches itself, which is what makes it work in rooms that were never wired for wall lighting.
The chain is the practical part
Wired to a permanent live supply, the chain becomes the only control you need — no cable chased across the wall to a new switch, and no reaching for the door switch once you are already in bed. The toggle sits 13 cm below the plate, within easy reach.
Open weave, warm shadows
The basket weave leaves gaps between the strands, so light escapes through the sides as well as downward and prints a woven pattern on the wall behind. Expect a warm, dappled glow across 5–10 m² rather than a contained beam — atmospheric, and enough to read a room by.

Frequently asked questions
Do I still need a wall switch?
No. The pull chain switches the light at the fitting, so it can be wired to a permanent live supply. Connecting it to the mains is still a job for a qualified electrician.
Which bulb should I fit?
A standard E27, sold separately. Warm white 2700K brings out the honey tone of the wicker. Choose a low-wattage LED rather than a filament bulb — woven shades sit close to the lamp and should be kept away from heat.
Will the weave let light through?
Yes, deliberately. Light passes through the gaps and casts a woven shadow on the wall, so the fitting lights the surface around it as well as the space below.

Bedside lamp questions, answered
Everything you need to know before ordering — bulbs, delivery, returns and safety.
Which bulb do I need for my bedside lamp?
Most of our bedside lamps use a standard E27 (large screw) or E14 (small screw) fitting — you'll find the exact base type in the Specifications table above. All fittings are standard in the UK, so bulbs are easy to find in any supermarket or online. For a bedside lamp we recommend a warm white bulb (2700K) between 25W and 60W equivalent: it gives the soft, cosy glow a bedroom needs, rather than the cold light of a work lamp.
Can I use an LED bulb with this lamp?
Yes. All our lamps work with LED bulbs, and we actually recommend them: an LED uses up to 90% less energy than a traditional bulb, stays cool to the touch and lasts 15,000+ hours. Choose a warm white LED (2700K) for a relaxing bedside light, and a dimmable LED if you plan to use a dimmer.
How long does delivery take in the UK?
Your order is prepared and dispatched within 24 to 48 hours. Delivery across the UK then typically takes 7 to 12 working days, and every parcel is sent with tracking — you'll receive your tracking number by email as soon as your lamp ships, and you can follow it at any time on our Track Your Order page.
What if the lamp doesn't suit my bedroom?
No problem. You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind and return your lamp for a refund. Check the dimensions in the Specifications table before ordering to make sure it fits your nightstand — and if you're unsure whether a style will work in your room, our team is happy to advise before you buy.
Are your lamps safe and UK compatible?
Yes. Every lamp we sell is CE certified and designed to work with standard UK plugs, sockets and bulbs. Fabric and wood models use heat-safe fittings, and we recommend LED bulbs for the coolest, safest operation — especially for children's night lights.
Is it safe to order on your website?
Completely. Checkout is protected by SSL encryption and handled by Shopify Payments, the same secure system used by over a million stores worldwide. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and our customer support team is available 7 days a week, 9am to 7pm, if you need help with an order.
