The build
About The Merced
Named for the river that runs below town, The Merced is the quiet one. A single upright rises off a cast flange, turns a hard ninety at the top, and drops the socket over a second flange that anchors the whole thing visually. Nothing decorative. Nothing hidden.
The cross fitting at the midpoint isn't there for looks — it's the mechanical anchor that keeps the arm from rotating under the weight of the bulb. That's the whole design philosophy: every part is doing a job, and you can see which one.
The best of the three on a desk or a nightstand, where the bulb hangs at reading height without a shade in the way. Wired with UL-listed components, twisted cloth cord, inline rotary switch, and a 40W amber ST64 Edison bulb.

How it leaves Mariposa
There are two of us. One builds, one packs, and the same pair answers the email when something goes sideways.
- Packed
- Double-boxed with die-cut foam under the flange base and kraft paper wrapped around the pipe. The Edison bulb travels in its own sleeve rather than in the socket, so a hard drop cannot shatter it against the pipe.
- Shipped
- UPS Ground out of 4821 Highway 140, free anywhere in the continental US. Alaska and Hawaii are quoted at cost at checkout, and we ship to Canada on request. Tracking goes out the morning the box leaves the bench.
- If it arrives wrong
- Photograph the box and email hello@craftsmancreations.com. We rebuild or refund, and we cover return freight. Wiring and joints are covered for as long as you own the lamp; bulbs are consumable and we send spares at cost.
