Skeleton Lamps

The Skeleton Lamp is the signature piece of The Blackened Teeth - and one of the most distinctive gothic table lamps anywhere in the world. We are the sole worldwide designers and makers of the skeleton lamp.

At its core the skeleton lamp is a modern memento mori. A skeleton form rendered as a working gothic table lamp, casting warm light across a dark interior and asking the room (and everyone in it) to sit with the oldest and most clarifying of questions. It is gothic home decor and gothic lighting in the most considered sense: not decorative in the conventional way, but genuinely meaningful, genuinely confrontational, and genuinely beautiful.

The collection spans two finishes and multiple editions. The Skeleton Lamp in black and the Skeleton Lamp Gold Edition form the foundation, each available with a range of lampshades to suit the gothic interior they are going into. The Nyx Lampshade editions - black and gold - pair the skeleton base with the Nyx baroque shade for a complete, ready-to-light gothic lighting statement.

The Baroque Editions take the skeleton lamp further into gothic maximalism. Nancy, Cruella, Urszula, Priscilla, Esther, and Lottie each pair the skeleton form with a different ornate baroque lampshade, creating gothic table lamps that function as full interior pieces rather than simply lighting. Each edition is named, distinct, and designed to anchor a dark room with the kind of presence that most gothic lighting cannot come close to.

As a gothic gift, a skeleton lamp is incomparable. There is nothing else like it - in gothic home decor, in dark interior design, or anywhere else.
