Vintage brass floor lamp, adjustable arm

A brass floor lamp with an adjustable arm sells easily if it stands steady and the socket works. Buyers want the original shade and a sound cord; missing shades and rewiring needs cut the price noticeably.

Estimated resale range (used)

$25 – $65

A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.

What matters when you check it

  • Plug it in and test the switch and socket, and inspect the cord for cracks, splices or old cloth insulation
  • Check the base for wobble and the arm joints for stiffness or stripped fittings that won't hold position
  • Note whether the shade is original and measure the overall height so buyers know it fits their room

Where the number comes from

Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.

Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
