This light sculpture will be perfect for your desk, end table, home office, or wherever you'd like to place it. I have assembled this beautiful piece from scratch, all parts were cleaned individually without altering the patina where existing, all the metal has been treated with rubbed wax to seal it and prevent further corrosion. This lamp features three swivels (2+1) for a wide array of configurations. All the wiring and electrical components are new. The cord is about 4 feet long and it is heat resistant cloth covered wire. It can accommodate almost any medium bulb (E26) pictured is a G25 vintage style bulb (not included). This piece has been numbered and signed. Contact me if you have any questions or shipping inquiries. SHIPPING NOTE: Sh&H cost is calculated by the size of the package, many times the cost will be lower. I will refund any shipping overcharge exceeding $2.00, please feel free to request a shipping estimate. Any imperfections present on the lamp are inherent to the handmade nature of this re-purposed light. *Pictures included in the listing have been enhanced for illustrative purposes. *Due to variations on computer monitor settings, the color of the lamp may vary from one computer to another. Note: As with any handmade item, this lamp should be handled with care, always carry the lamp by holding it with one hand on the base and the other on the body of the lamp, this will ensure many years of enjoyment.

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.

He firmly believes that the collector's satisfaction is entirely in his hands, thus he strives for a high level of integrity in his work.
It's nerve-wracking working with an unseen product let alone maker, but i was beyond pleased with my end product. jay walked me through the design till it was just right (but still unseen - eek) i am so glad i took the leap of faith because his light fixture is FANTASTIC and fits my space perfectly! He gets a HIGH recommendation from me, jump in - the water is fine :)
Jay was super helpful and comunicative up front. By the time we finalized the project I knew exactly what to expect and that’s what he delivered. The piece is beautiful and exactly what we needed for our space. Thanks Jay!
Jay was terrific. He was responsive, patient and accommodating. I had asked him to replicate something that I had seen on a site and he was spot-on. I highly recommend Jay and Retro Steam Works and I will definitely reach out to him again in the future.
Retro Steam Works was very easy to work with and did a great job preparing CADS and communicating spec with me. The quality of the lamp I received was great as well. I highly recommend them and would work with them again.
Jay was patient, helpful, quick to respond to every question and concern, and created exactly what I asked. This was my first experience using this site and I am so lucky to have found Jay! The process was super easy and Jay was exactly on time, just like he promised! I would not hesitate to ask Jay to make another masterpiece for me! He is truly talented!
