A lamp harp is the metal framework which attaches to the base of the lamp and forms an arch over the light bulb and socket to hold the lampshade. Very often, the top of the harp can be adorned with a decorative finial. Selecting the correct size harp for your lamp is very important. If the harp is too large or too small, the shade will not fit properly. This can be visually problematic, but also can place the shade too close to the heat of the light bulb. Most lamps come with harps already, however, if you’re replacing the harp on an existing light, be sure that you select a size that will allow for proper ventilation and placement of the shade.
