Vintage Brass Goose Neck Table Lamp

A goose neck arm is the oldest good idea in task lighting. The whole arm bends and holds its position, so the light goes exactly where you want it and stays there, which is more useful than a hinged arm with three fixed positions and considerably more useful than a lamp that only points down.

This one is finished in antique brass, with the slightly darkened, unevenly polished look of a fitting that has been in service a while. It suits a desk, a bedside or a study shelf, and it pairs well with wood and leather rather than fighting them the way a chrome lamp would.

The modern addition is a USB port built into the base, which is the detail that makes a vintage-styled lamp actually livable on a bedside table. Phone, watch, e-reader: they charge from the lamp rather than from a second adapter competing for the same outlet. The shade takes a standard screw-fit bulb, and it plugs straight in with no assembly.
