Nickel Finials

Find the Perfect Nickel Finial

To find the perfect nickel finial for your lamp, consider a couple of factors. They include:

Design

Our nickel finial collection offers a stunning variety of designs, each crafted to elevate your lamp's aesthetic appeal.

Whether you prefer a polished finish for a modern touch or a brushed texture for more subtle elegance, we have a nickel finial that complements any lamp and living space.

Nickel’s timeless appeal is derived from its corrosion-resistant properties, making it a go-to choice for traditional and modern decor. Skilled artisans craft these finials to ensure lasting quality so their polished surfaces and brushed textures remain pristine. 

Shape

As you have probably already seen from our exclusive collection, a nickel finial can come in many different shapes, including a cylinder, sphere, cube, and ball. 

Choosing a nickel finial in the right shape for your lighting fixture is key to achieving your desired look.

The Lamp Base

When shopping for a nickel finial, you should also carefully consider the material and the style of your lamp base. 

That way, you can ensure that the finial you choose will complement the base of your lamp.

Size

Since nickel finials are available in various sizes, it can be important to choose one that fits proportionally with your lamp to achieve your desired look.

Selecting the right finial size ensures the lamp’s design remains balanced and harmonious. An oversized finial may look disproportionate to the lamp, while one that is too small may go unnoticed. 

You can achieve an aesthetic that beautifully elevates the space by matching the finial’s proportions to your lamp and overall decor.

Consider the dimensions of your lamp base and shade. A balanced finial typically measures between 1 and 1.5 inches tall, but this may vary based on your lamp’s height and the scale of your decor. 

The Finish

The first thing you need to consider is the finish of the nickel finial you want. They can come in a variety of finishes, including polished and brushed.

The finish you choose can greatly enhance the overall aesthetic of your lamp and help create a cohesive look with the surrounding decor in your living space.

Which Lampshades Are Compatible With Nickel Finials?

While most American-style lamps are compatible with a spider fitter shade, not all lampshades are designed to accommodate a lamp finial. So, before you start searching for a nickel finial that you like, ensure your lampshade is compatible with one.

Not only is a spider fitter shade the most widely found, but it’s also easy to assemble. The shade and finial attach on top of the lamp’s harp, which is a U-shaped metal frame that attaches directly to the lamp base. 

Your shade will rest on the circular disc at the top of the harp, and the threaded screw just above this disc allows you to attach the finial, securing the lamp and lampshade together, while at the same time keeping the shade firmly in place. This will ensure your shade stays secure and adds a decorative touch to your lamp.

Nickel finials are compatible with a wide variety of American-style lampshades, including drum lamp shades, square lamp shades, and oval lamp shades. These lampshades can complement the sleek and modern aesthetic of a nickel finial, resulting in a cohesive and polished look.
