Description from the seller

vintage or antique-style brass floor lamp (often called a "pharmacy lamp" or "reading lamp" due to the adjustable swing arm design). It's a classic adjustable task light with these key features based on the photos:Material and finish: Solid brass (or brass-plated) with an aged/antique bronze-like patina. The base is a heavy, weighted circular brass disc for stability, showing some wear/scratches typical of older pieces.
Design: Tall pole (likely around 5–6 feet adjustable or fixed height), with a hinged swing arm that extends outward and can be positioned for directed reading or task lighting. There's a chain-pull mechanism (beaded pull chain) for on/off control—common in vintage styles for easy reach without a foot switch.
Style: Industrial-vintage or early-mid 20th century inspired (possibly 1930s–1970s reproduction or original), with elements like the pull chain, exposed hardware, and articulated arm reminiscent of old draftsman or apothecary lamps.
