Note that this light has been made using repurposed materials, any imperfections present on the lamp are inherent to the handmade nature of this re-purposed light.
*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.

Nov 23, 2016I found a picture of a light fixture I wanted in a magazine. My decorator and I looked EVERYWHERE for a similar one. I stumbled on the Custom Made website during this search. Jay seemed to make something similar. I contacted him and through endless emails of pictures and drawings we developed, together, the perfect compromise. Jay could not have been easier to work with, his price was very reasonable and we LOVE the light fixture!
