Industrial/Steampunk Edison Light Vintage Torch Table Lamp
--- Important Note: This has been sold, please send me a message if you're interested in having a similar one recreated --- This Industrial/Steampunk light will be perfect for your desk, end table, home office, or wherever you'd like to place it. I have assembled this from scratch, all parts were cleaned individually without altering the patina where existing. It was assembled using a variety of parts, including a vintage blow torch, recycled copper piping and fittings, Brass unions, a donor lamp, a couple of vintage pressure gauges, Jute twine and some bits and bobs to complete the assembly. All the wiring and some electrical components are new and some were meticulously restored and cleaned. It stands 31" tall, 12" inches wide and about 20" deep and the cord is about 4 feet long. The Lamp works great. The on/off switch is pull chain switch. This is a very nice lamp. The Spiral Edison Bulbs are included at no additional charge (a $22.95 value) although you can use any standard size bulb. I wouldn't though because the Edison bulb adds some nostalgic flair.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I have been creating unique lighting for several years now, I specialize in custom finishes and hard to find sizes and designs; if you need a specific design I will be happy to work with you to achieve the desired piece.
My finishes are done by hand on solid materials, I don't fake brass or copper finishes on steel; whenever I do custom finishes I do them on real metals, ie; copper, brass.
My work can be found around the globe and throughout the US and Canada, besides individual clients I also have worked with commercial clients such as: Bose - Remodel Moore - Kindred Interiors - C3 Group - We Came in Peace - Consort Homes - NYC Best Bars group - Orchard Lane Studio - KP Designs & Associates - Freiheit Arquitecture - Zio and Sons - Workshop Denver, Fearins | Welch Interior Design to name a few.
