Description
Obscura Table Lamp in Black and White
Contrast is the whole idea. The Obscura wears a black outer shade over a crisp white interior, so the fixture reads graphic and disciplined from across the room while the light it releases stays warm and diffuse. A gold metal base carries it, adding just enough shine to keep the black from turning severe.
The practical details are handled too: an in-line switch on a black power cord means you are not reaching blindly under a shade at midnight.
- Black outer shade with a white inner shade
- Gold metal base for an elegant lift
- In-line switch with a black power cord
On a bedside table it does the one job that matters after dark; on a console or a desk it holds its own as an object in daylight. Browse it with the rest of our modern table lamps, or pair it with one of our modern nightstands for a bedroom that finally looks composed.

Everything you need to know before you order. Still stuck? Call or text 844-305-3247 or email support@newyorkmodern.com.
How long will it take to get this?
In-stock items ship within 1–3 business days. Transit time averages 5 to 14 business days depending on the size of your order and your destination. You will get a tracking number by email as soon as the order leaves our warehouse.
What does delivery include?
Free Threshold Delivery, included on orders of $50 or more, brings the piece to the first dry area of your home, such as inside the front door or the garage. It does not include unpacking or assembly, and the delivery team does not take packaging away. White Glove Delivery and Assembly is available at checkout for $199.99: delivery to the room of your choice, full assembly and removal of all packaging.
What bulbs does this fixture take?
The socket size and bulb type for this fixture are listed in the product details above. If a bulb is included, it is noted there as well.
Do I need an electrician?
Plug-in table and floor lamps need no installation. Hardwired ceiling and wall fixtures should be installed by a qualified electrician in line with your local code, and that work is not covered by the product warranty.
What if I change my mind?
You have 30 days from delivery to start a return. Contact us first for a Return Merchandise Authorization number. The piece must be new, unused and in its original packaging. Non-defective returns carry a 30% restocking fee, and return shipping is paid by the customer. Damage or defects reported within 24 hours of delivery are repaired or replaced at no cost.
What warranty comes with it?
Our products are covered by a limited manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship; the length of coverage depends on the product. We handle claims for you: a technician first attempts a repair, and a replacement is arranged if the item cannot be restored. It does not cover normal wear and tear, pet or accidental damage, or commercial use. Email us for a free copy of the warranty for this product. Orders placed with a promotional 5-year warranty keep those terms.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes. You can pay over time with Affirm or Klarna at checkout, subject to eligibility (see affirm.com/disclosures for lending terms). PayTomorrow is also available, including a no-credit-needed option. Prequalifying does not affect your credit score.
