One of the more favoured types of gooseneck desk lamps during the Machine Age was the cast iron lamp. The use of cast iron meant that the lamp base would be weighty enough to support the top of the lamp when it was extended out beyond the perimeter of the base without the risk of having it topple over.
Fortunately, the look of cast iron was also quite pleasing to the eye and the results range from a very industrial looking lamp to quite a modern look. The use of cast iron also means that the resultant table lamp would be extremely durable and this has meant that many of the older cast iron gooseneck table lamps are still available in close to as new condition.
You should expect any cast iron gooseneck lamp to be quite weighty. It is also the type of lamp that you would be buying for its functional use rather than as a decorative feature. That being said, these lamps can add greatly to the look and feel of a room that has already been decorated following a mid-century retro theme.
