The Met x Eichholtz presents the Wall Lamp Amun, inspired by the elegant leaf designs on a capital (380–343 BCE) from the Egyptian temple of Amun at Hibis.

Featuring a brushed-brass finish and smoke glass, this lamp pays homage to the creativity and artisanship of ancient Egyptian architecture, bringing a touch of timeless elegance to your space.

HISTORIC PROVENANCE

The Wall Lamp Amun draws its essence from an early example of a composite capital that was once displayed in front of the Temple of Amun at Hibis in Egypt’s Kharga Oasis. Now in The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Egyptian Art collection, this ancient capital features an elegant design that incorporates the common papyrus and foxtail flatsedge plants, reflecting the intricate artisanship and artistic heritage preserved by The Met.

Care instructions

How to care for wood veneer

Veneer furniture is covered in a thin layer of real hardwood. Veneers are often used in high end furniture pieces and can be more costly than solid wood. Mid 20th century it became especially popular in interiors when teak wood was often used for Danish design furniture.

To fully enjoy your wood veneer furniture, please follow a few basic rules:

Cleaning and maintenance

Wood veneer requires gentle care to preserve the finish. Dust regularly and clean with a soft dry cloth.

Remove spills immediately as moisture can cause the veneer to peel off the surface. Prevent moisture from getting underneath the veneer by quickly and thoroughly cleaning up any spills. In case of water rings, rub the area with naphtha. Follow up with an application of oil or petroleum jelly to completely erase the mark.
