Antique Industrial Gooseneck Cage Light – Russell & Stoll Co. New York

Description :
This authentic early 20th-century industrial wall light features a distinctive gooseneck arm and a heavy cast metal cage surrounding a thick glass globe. Manufactured by Russell & Stoll Co. of New York, known for their durable marine- and factory-grade electrical fixtures, this piece was likely used in a warehouse, shipyard, or industrial facility. The fixture retains a well-earned patina with aged oxidation, surface rust, and traces of its original blackened finish. Measuring approximately 4" x 4 ½" x 12 ½", it’s a remarkable example of early American industrial design — suitable for restoration or display as-is for a rugged, authentic look.
