--- 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.
