A vintage gooseneck wall lamp built in early-20th-century workshop vocabulary —
a turned circular backplate, a curved gooseneck arm extending forward and downward,
and a turned cylindrical brass shade hanging from the arm's tip. Both the arm and
the shade pivot independently on adjustable hinges, so the light can be aimed precisely
where you need it: a reading angle, a wall-art wash, a downward task position.
The brass is hand-finished with a warm antique patina that brings out the depth of
the turned details on the shade and backplate — pairs naturally with workshop,
industrial, library, and mid-century interiors.

Features
Two-Point Adjustment
Both the gooseneck arm and the shade pivot on independent hinges — aim the light precisely.
Turned Brass Detailing
Backplate and shade are turned brass with antique patina — workshop authenticity.
Compact Reach
14" projection from wall — close enough for bedside or reading nook tasks.
Finish
Antique Brass
Hand-aged warm brass with darker recesses in the turned details — pairs with
cream walls, brick, oak, and traditional or workshop interiors. The patina
develops gradually over years of use, deepening the antique character.

Dimming
Compatible if a dimmable bulb and TRIAC dimmer are installed
There are two independent pivot points: the arm pivots up or down where it meets
the wall backplate, and the shade pivots independently where it hangs from the arm
tip. Combined, this means you can position the light source pointing straight down
(task light), forward (reading light), or angled toward a wall to wash artwork. Each
hinge holds its position firmly once set — no need to re-tighten regularly.
How far does it stick out from the wall? +
The wall projection at full extension is 35.5 cm (14") — measured from the wall
surface to the center of the shade. This is the maximum reach; pivoting the arm
upward reduces the projection. For tight spaces (narrow hallways, cramped bedside),
measure your wall clearance before ordering.
What bulb does it take? +
One E12 (North America) or E14 (EU/UK/AU) candelabra base bulb up
to 25W. Because the shade is open at the bottom, the bulb is partially visible —
vintage Edison-style filament E12/E14 bulbs work especially well, as do simple
candelabra LED globes. Pick warm white (2700–3000K) for the most period-appropriate
glow that complements the antique brass. Bulb is not included.
Can I order it as a pair? +
Yes — gooseneck sconces work beautifully in pairs flanking a bed (each one swung
inward over the bedside table for reading) or on either side of a wall-mounted
artwork. Just order two units. For matched-batch finish consistency on larger
orders, contact us first — antique brass finishes can vary slightly between
production batches.
Is it dimmable? +
The fixture itself doesn't dim, but it becomes fully dimmable when paired with a
dimmable LED candelabra bulb and a standard TRIAC wall dimmer (both sold separately).
Dimming pairs especially well with vintage Edison filament bulbs — the warm filament
glow becomes more amber and atmospheric at lower brightness levels.
