Brass Double Knuckle Desk/Draftman's Lamp by Faries Co. ca. 1910

About the Item

This most useful lamp was made by the Faries Lamp Co. This lamp has 2 points where the angle can be adjusted by just loosening the wing nuts in the 2 areas. The whole lamp above the base also swivels. It has an iron weight so that at any angle it won't tip over. Our measurements were made with the lamp at its maximum height and width. There would be countless measurements if we wanted to keep adjusting the angles. This lamp can be used anywhere for good light, and have become increasingly popular for their simplicity and practicality. A lamp anyone can find a good use for. Newly wired for safety.

  • Banker's/ Desk Lamp by "Pittsburgh Lamp Co." Reverse Painted Shade, ca. 1920's
    By Pittsburgh Lamp, Brass and Glass Company
    Located in Petaluma, CA
    This beautiful little lamp can be used as a desk lamp by just adjusting the lower knuckle to the highest point, which we did for our measurement, or you can lower it with that same knuckle. You can change the angle of the shade with the 2nd knuckle. The beauty is in the lovely painted scene on the shade and the rich gilt patina on the base, which is highlighted with red accent. This really is a little gem. Very high quality and guaranteed to be made by the Pittsburgh Lamp Co. We've sold enough of their lamps to recognize their work. So much more fun than the usual green shade bankers lamp...
