Wall Lamp

The piece
Adjustable Gooseneck Arm · Tilting Shade · Antique Brass · Vintage Workshop
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
Both the gooseneck arm and the shade pivot on independent hinges — aim the light precisely.
Backplate and shade are turned brass with antique patina — workshop authenticity.
14" projection from wall — close enough for bedside or reading nook tasks.
Finish
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.

FAQ
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Care & delivery
Dust with a soft dry cloth. Stone, plated and painted finishes dislike solvents and abrasives, so keep both away from them; glass takes a lint-free cloth and a little glass cleaner. Solid brass is left unlacquered on most pieces and will warm and darken with handling, which is the material behaving as it should rather than a fault. Switch a fixture off and let it cool before cleaning it.
This piece is manufactured for Elio Marchetti by Radilum, our production partner for the collection.
We are a lighting house rather than a factory. We select the pieces, specify the finishes and the stone, and hold the relationship with the maker, and we would rather tell you that plainly than leave it unsaid. Questions about the manufacture of a specific fixture are welcome and we will answer them.
Allow 28 to 43 business days from order to arrival, roughly six to nine weeks. Most of the collection is made to order, so that time covers the piece being built in the finish and size you chose, checked, packed and shipped. The same window applies wherever you are.
Shipping is free to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, with no minimum order.
You have ten days from receiving a piece to have it on its way back to us, under way inside those ten days rather than simply flagged with us on the tenth. Return postage on a change of mind is yours, there is no restocking fee, and the outcome is a refund to your original payment method rather than store credit. Made to order pieces return on the same terms as stock. Contact us before sending anything back.
Separate from an ordinary return, and a longer window: twenty days from receipt to report it. Tell us before you send anything, keep the packaging until we have answered, and photographs of both the fault and the box help. Where a piece is faulty, damaged in transit or not what you ordered, we cover the return postage.
Any hardwired fixture should go in with a licensed electrician. Where a piece has particular requirements, a sloped ceiling, a chain that can be shortened, a specific socket, they are listed further up this page.
