How do I adjust the height?

Many models use a sliding stem mechanism secured by a thumbscrew or collar. Loosening this joint permits the upper section to raise or lower before tightening to hold the position.

Were these designed for desks or floors?

The inventory includes both compact desk lamps and tall floor standing standards. Base types and stem heights indicate whether a piece belongs on a piece of furniture or directly on the floor.

What metal finishes are common?

Brass is the predominant material, frequently left natural or polished. Silver plate and nickel plating also appear, particularly on travelling or industrial variants.

Can I use modern bulbs?

Most lamp holders accommodate standard contemporary bulbs with appropriate wiring updates. Consult a qualified electrician to ensure the vintage fittings comply with current safety standards.
