A 5-inch swing arm lamp with a mercury glass shade, finished in matte black, designed for reading or accent lighting in bedrooms and living rooms.
The Cobbleskill collection combines heavy cast components with a sleek contemporary look. This swing arm lamp features a matte black finish and a mercury glass drum shade, offering a vintage-industrial aesthetic that complements transitional, Art Nouveau, and restoration-vintage decor. The adjustable arm allows you to direct light exactly where needed.
Best for
- Bedrooms, mounted beside a bed as a reading light, with the swing arm extending over a nightstand
- Living rooms, positioned above an armchair or sofa for task lighting
- Home offices, providing focused light for a desk or reading nook
- Damp-rated bathrooms, installed near a vanity or mirror (not in direct shower spray)
- Hallways or entryways as an accent light on a wall
Not ideal for
- Large rooms where primary overhead lighting is needed—this is a task/accent light
- Spaces with very low ceilings where the 12-inch extension might protrude into walkways
How bright is it?
Uses one medium-base (E26) bulb, not included. Brightness depends on the bulb you choose—recommended ST64 vintage bulb. For a warm ambient glow, use a 40W-equivalent LED (about 450 lumens); for task reading, a 60W-equivalent (800 lumens) works well.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shade diffuses light softly, creating a warm, ambient glow. Pair with a 2700K-3000K bulb for a cozy, incandescent-like feel. The shade's reflective interior adds a subtle sparkle.
Sizing and fit
The lamp extends 12 inches from the wall, with a shade 5 inches wide and 6 inches tall. Overall height is 12.5 inches. The backplate measures 4.5 x 7.88 inches. Ideal for walls with standard 8-foot ceilings; the swing arm allows flexible positioning.
