Description
The Ambledale swing arm floor lamp stands 1600mm tall in an antique brass finish, with an arm that pivots so the reach changes between 420mm and 700mm from the stem. That is the point of it: the light can be pushed out over a chair for reading and swung back against the wall when the room is being used for something else, without moving the base. A champagne coloured fabric shade softens the output, and a single E27 GLS bulb of up to 60W is needed, supplied separately.
A swing arm floor light is the practical answer to a chair that sits too far from a side table, or a corner where there is no surface for a table lamp at all. It works beside a sofa, next to a bed as a reading light, or over a desk in a study. The depth is 420mm and the whole lamp weighs 9.1kg, which keeps it planted when the arm is extended. Antique brass suits older interiors and holds its own in a plain modern room where the woodwork is dark and the walls are quiet.
It is wired as a Class 2 double insulated fitting, which means no earth connection is required. It is not listed as dimmable, so we would use standard switching and pick the bulb to suit the mood you want. Dust the metalwork with a dry cloth and keep polish, solvents and abrasive creams off the antique brass, which is meant to age rather than shine. Brush the fabric shade gently with a soft brush. The wider Ambledale range covers a matching floor lamp, table lamp, wall lights and pendants.

Frequently Asked
How far does the arm reach?
The width adjusts between 420mm and 700mm as the arm swings, so you can move the light without moving the lamp.
What are the full dimensions?
1600mm tall, 420mm to 700mm wide depending on the arm position, and 420mm deep. It weighs 9.1kg.
Which bulb does it need?
One E27 GLS bulb of up to 60W, supplied separately. A warm white LED gives good reading light without heating the shade.
Is it stable with the arm out?
Yes. At 9.1kg it has the weight to hold steady when the arm is fully extended.
How should I care for the finish?
Wipe the antique brass with a dry cloth only. Brass polish and abrasive creams will cut through the aged finish. Brush the fabric shade with a soft brush.
Can it be dimmed?
It is not listed as dimmable, so plan on standard on and off switching rather than a dimmer.
