Our hand wrought iron pieces are made for us in the Lancaster County PA Amish Community. With classic style and functional design these versatile pieces blend into most decorating schemes. This floor lamp is sometimes called a "Quilter's Lamp" because it adjusts up or down making it nice for reading or sewing or other close work. At its tallest with the bulb in place it is 5 ft tall. This has a 5 point star top. It is nice and sturdy-the crossed leg base keeps it from tipping easily. This will require easy assembly-a pliers is all you will need. A 10 inch wide clip on lampshade will work well with this lamp but is not included. It takes a three-way bulb(not included) and has a nice long cord.
