HauteStuff - Bling’s the Thing

In terms of creative evolution, I have widened my inventive focus to accommodate the inclusion of anatomical as well as home décor. Still based on the premise of sourcing vintage elements and blending them to create the novel nouveau, the process is the same as fabricating chimes and lights but on a miniature scale - a challenge to be sure and one to hopefully result in visual refinement. Many from which to choose - many more to come. Prices start at $95

Twin Pendant Wall Sconce

The canopy of this handsome sconce is a composition of a repurposed circular table lamp base and three decoratively layered, filagreed brass components. From it are suspended  two vertically compatible, conical brass elements with polished pendant arms from which hang twin vintage sockets and a pair elegant  frosted, fluted glass shades. Being a personal favourite, I wouldn’t mind at all if it never got passed the studio door. None-the-less, it comes complete with modern wiring, click switch and wall plug. It hangs to a depth of 16" and a width of 10.5" (40.64cm x 26.67cm). And like every fixture I create, there’s not another like it.

Comfortably Ensconced

For my second foray into the sconce genre, I present an ornate, amber-lit pendant lamp. Classical in appearance, it is composed entirely of generously filagreed brass components and illuminated by an oblong, frosted, delicately patterned cut glass shade containing an amber chandelier incandescent bulb. Comprised of the usual vintage lamp components, it would compliment any den, dining, living or bed room wall. Comes complete with new wiring, click switch and wall plug, ready for service.

In a new direction but comprised of the usual fare sits this original table lamp.

Three ornate finials plus various and sundry brass pieces sitting on a filagree lamp base round out the parts list. More of these to come. Custom orders on request.
