Ceramic Floor Lamps

The brightest lamp to get today in any store was intended and made circa 1920. It can be also the most versatile lamp you could get wherever. Additionally it'll outlast most any advanced lamp you could discover at any individual amount. This antique floor lamp is known by a various names like: 6 Way Floor Lamp, Reflector Floor Lamp, and "JUNIOR". The layout commences with a weighty metal base occasionally greatly adorned using an upright tubing leading around a central electric socket surrounded by 3 arm lights(4 lights total) . The central light takes a 3 way bulb(low- medium- high) that is frequently a MOGUL size which is bigger than a normal socket with larger wattage(100- 200- 300 watts) . The three arm lights are controlled by a switch that can turn on separately just 1, 2 or all 3 of the arm lights. Further, many of these JUNIORS had a small light under the bottom that supplied an extremely delicate night time floor light operated by a foot switch installed on the side of the base. As if this were not adequate, the central top socket is encased in a huge metal cup which maintains a white waffle patterned glass bowl that reflects light upward to bounce of the ceiling. A fabric or silk shade (also called JUNIOR shade) rests on the glass reflector bowl to reflect light downward for studying. A single arm light can provide an easy night light or at it brightest setting, it might illuminate a whole room. I found no brighter lamp or much more multipurpose lamp obtainable anywhere these days and it was built and manufactured just about 100 years ago!

Among the best reading lamps in the world was also constructed circa 1920. It has been highly imitated yet it even now remains unchallenged. The Bridge Arm Floor Lamp or Bridge Lamp features a normal floor lamp style with metal base and upright standard that can take the form of various types of decorated tubing, twisted iron rods, etc. At the top from the standard is a pretty cast metal arm having a graceful arc or curvature which ends with an electric socket pointing downward and covered by a fabric or glass shade. That has the impact of offsetting the light by about 14- 18 "from the upright standard at the same time lowering it so that it can be closer towards the reading information or work project. The consequence is a great reading lamp or work lamp that places the light bulb extremely near the task available. Many of these Bridge Arm Floor Lamps have convenient pull chains which usually hang underneath the bottom of your lamp shade for no difficulty of operation.

Obviously you can find many other types of antique floor lamps such as torchiere, two light, curved arm, swing arm, etc. Even the oldest and most dilapidated of these well built heirlooms are brought back to the task with some scrubbing, sanding, painting, rewiring and sometimes soldering or welding.

If you need to purchase a lamp that you can provide to your grand kids, consider acquiring an antique floor lamp.
