Antique Industrial Gooseneck Task Lamp Head – Porcelain & Brass with Shade

Description :
This is a single salvaged antique task lamp head, likely from an early 20th-century gooseneck or articulating desk/work light. The socket housing is crafted from white porcelain with brass fittings and a pull-chain switch, while the attached spun metal shade is heavily patinated copper or brass. The unit includes a standard incandescent bulb for scale but is untested and sold as-is. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for restoration, art builds, or steampunk lighting projects.
