Farmhouse Hen Table Lamp

A hen, standing squarely, glowing gently from within. There is no way to describe this that makes it sound sensible, and that is rather the point: it is a small lamp with a great deal of personality, sculpted with enough care that the comb, the tail and the set of the body all read properly rather than looking like a moulded blob. On a kitchen shelf or a hall sideboard it earns its place by making people smile.

The light is warm and low, closer to a candle than a reading lamp, which is the right level for something meant to sit in the corner of a room and glow. It runs from a USB lead rather than mains flex, so it can live on a windowsill, move to a table for supper, or sit on a shelf with the cable tucked behind. The body is a light, robust moulded plastic with a soft matte finish.

Use a UK-approved USB mains adapter, which is not supplied, or run it from a power bank. Wipe with a dry cloth only. It is decorative rather than a toy, so keep it and its cable out of reach of small children and pets, and route the lead where it cannot be tripped over.
