Where should I place a floor lamp?

These tall floor stands suit reading corners, beside armchairs, or near heavy wooden desks. Their adjustable reach allows you to position the light precisely over your shoulder. Ensure the heavy cast iron base rests firmly on a level floor for stability.

How do I clean the brass?

Dust the metal regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent grime build-up. Avoid harsh chemical polishes that strip the natural historic patina. If the piece includes a cranberry glass shade, remove it carefully and wash it in warm, soapy water.

Can I use modern bulbs?

Most antique fittings accommodate modern LED bulbs provided the wattage matches the historical wiring safety limits. Consult an electrician if the lamp retains its original cord and plug. Keep the bulb wattage low to protect vintage glass shades from excessive heat.
