Vintage Swan Neck Wall Light — handmade character, rotary socket switch, three bold finish options
The rotary switch is integrated directly into the E27 socket — you turn the knob near the bulb fitting to switch the light on and off independently of your wall switch, which is useful for bedside or reading use. The E27 socket accepts bulbs up to 40 W maximum — do not exceed this rating. The bulb will be visible in the open socket, so a decorative filament or globe LED at 2700 K gives the best vintage result. The bulb is not included and must be purchased separately. The handmade assembly means minor variation in finish and form between units is expected and part of the character — this is not a defect. The swan neck arm directs light downward and forward, making it well suited to reading, task lighting, or accent use rather than broad room illumination. The Red finish is a bold accent choice — it reads as a statement piece against neutral walls. This is a hardwired fitting — installation by a qualified electrician is recommended.
Mount this light beside a bed, above a reading chair, in a hallway, or in a study for a focused vintage glow. Black suits industrial and dark-toned interiors; White works in Scandi and coastal spaces; Red makes a bold accent statement in eclectic or maximalist rooms. Install two symmetrically on either side of a headboard or mirror for a balanced period-style scheme. The swan neck silhouette adds character to plain walls without requiring additional decoration.

Common questions
Is a bulb included?
+
No — the bulb is not included. The fitting uses an E27 socket with a maximum rating of 40 W. The bulb is visible in the open socket, so a decorative filament or globe LED at 2700 K gives the best vintage result. Do not exceed the 40 W maximum.
How does the rotary switch work?
+
The rotary switch is built into the E27 socket — turn the small knob near the bulb fitting to switch the light on and off independently of your wall switch. The wall switch must be in the “on” position for the socket switch to function. This is particularly useful for bedside or reading use where you want individual control.
Which colour should I choose?
+
Black suits industrial, loft, and dark-toned interiors — strong contrast against light walls, pairs well with exposed brick or dark wood. White suits Scandi, coastal, and light-toned spaces — softer and more understated. Red is a bold accent choice for eclectic, maximalist, or retro-inspired rooms — it reads as a statement piece against neutral walls. All three work well with a warm filament LED at 2700 K.
Does it need to be hardwired or does it plug in?
+
This is a hardwired wall fitting — it connects directly to your wall wiring and does not plug into a socket. Installation by a qualified electrician is recommended. All mounting hardware is included in the box.
What is the difference between this and the Antique Swan-Neck Wall Light?
+
Both are handmade swan neck wall lights with an E27 rotary socket switch and max 40 W. The main difference is the colour range: this Vintage model comes in Black, White, and Red (3 options); the Antique model comes in Black and White only (2 options). Check the product images for any differences in neck profile or shade shape between the two models.
