How tall does this lamp stand when fully extended?

The arm can extend about six feet from base to shade when straightened out, though the exact height and reach depend on how you angle the three swivel joints.

Will the arm stay in place once I adjust it?

Yes. The brass swivel joints lock firmly enough to hold position under the weight of the shade and arm, but they still move smoothly when you reposition the lamp.

Does this lamp come with a bulb?

No bulb is included. The shade accepts any standard medium-base bulb.

Can I use an LED bulb with this lamp?

Yes. The shade fits any medium-base bulb, including LED, incandescent, or CFL.

How heavy is the base?

The entire lamp weighs around twenty pounds, with most of that weight in the solid cast-iron base. It stays stable even when the arm is extended at an angle.

Does the brass finish stay shiny?

The brass swivels are uncoated and will develop a natural patina over time. If you prefer the original brightness, you can polish them with brass cleaner.

Why it's on GiftsFeed

Articulating floor lamp with mid-century swivel joints

Most adjustable floor lamps hinge only at the shade or use a gooseneck that sags under its own weight. The Isaac gives you three separate pivot points with brass joints sturdy enough to hold position without drift, so you can bend the arm into shapes a single hinge will never manage and trust it to stay there. That flexibility matters when you want task light that reaches over a sofa arm, curves around a side table, or extends high enough to read by without casting your own shadow. The cast-iron base keeps it anchored even when the arm is cantilevered out at an extreme angle, which is when lesser lamps tip.

Good gift when

People who read or work in different spots and need repositionable light
Anyone rearranging furniture frequently who wants a lamp that adapts
Renters seeking vintage-styled lighting without permanent installation
Mid-century modern enthusiasts drawn to functional mechanical design

No sizing to guess

The details

The Isaac is built around three brass swivel joints that let you pivot the steel arm up, down, and sideways to aim light wherever the moment demands. Each joint locks firmly enough to hold position but moves smoothly when you adjust it, so the lamp works equally well beside a reading chair, over a desk, or lighting a corner that overhead fixtures miss.

The shade is steel with a glossy Pool finish—a soft blue-green that reads more saturated in daylight and warmer under incandescent bulbs. The arm extends from a cast-iron base heavy enough to stay planted when you swing the shade around. A twisted cloth cord runs the length of the arm and plugs into the wall, so there's no hardwiring.

The jointed arm gives you about six feet of reach from base to shade when fully extended, though the exact height and reach depend on how you angle each segment. The shade opening is wide enough to take a standard medium-base bulb, and the shade interior directs light downward and slightly outward rather than diffusing it in all directions.

The finish is glossy enamel over steel, applied by hand. Brass swivels are left uncoated and will develop patina over time. The base is solid cast iron, not filled, so the lamp has real weight underfoot—around twenty pounds total. Assembly involves attaching the arm to the base with a single large nut; everything else ships connected.
