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.

Steampunk, Industrial Bohemian Table or Desk Lamp

Comprised of an elongated wine glass-shaped shade with an identical miniature frosted version set within, they perch on an urn-shaped floor lamp component which in turn is mounted on a brass trophy element, a canopy and an ornate cast base. The piece stands 24" high and is fabricated replete with modern wiring, a palm switch and wall plug. As usual, one-of-a-kind. ... SOLD

Turning the Tables

In a new direction but comprised of the usual fare sits this original table lamp. Starting from the top is an inverted, frosted glass shade set within an inverted glossy black shade which in turn is comfortably nestled in the identical curvature of a brass canopy. 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.
I sadly bid adieu to my rustic (emphasis on rust) chime fabricated entirely from items recovered on the shoreline of Toronto’s Spit. Its new residence is Massimo’s Studio Kitchen at 507 King Street East. Sold yes, but with visitation rights. ...SOLD

How to Get Lit Without Touching a Drop

Having recently discovered a simple but unique method of removing the extremities from wine bottles, I present the first of my latest contributions to the sconce genre. Fabricated from the usual vintage brass lamp components, an elegant green vessel, a foot of brass chain and fitted with a low wattage chandelier bulb, this wall sconce is handsomely suitable for the illumination of any residential or commercial décor. Not counting the 6' of new cord, the unit extends approximately 23" in length by 6.5" wide (58.42cm x 16.51cm). I will customize to your requirements and can easily accommodate ceiling mounted, multiple shade fixtures - examples to come. ... SOLD similar pieces available

Solid Brass Components

For the Eccentric, Electric Eclectic

For those with a taste for the eclectic and original, I present my first wall hanging pendant lamp. Entirely comprised of brass elements, upon close inspection you’ll discover a decorative Far Eastern incense turret, an Italian wall canopy, an arched bracket from a French fixture, a solid brass, late 1800’s pulley, actual vintage cloth-covered wiring, a bakelite palm switch and matching wall plug. With sufficient wire to hang from 10ft. above the floor, it comes with a solid rubber wedge to hold the unit at any desired height. Like all my creations, you are assured that there’s only one in the world. This fixture would make a totally unique holiday gift. I will mail anywhere but please inform me in advance of the destination to get an accurate cost for shipment. Regards, Gary

Luminosity Curiosity

Atypical of the customary light fixture fare is this art deco pendant entirely fabricated from recycled, repurposed, vintage  lamp components. Created atop a 20’s alabaster globe with a  hand-painted floral arrangement on the interior surface, its flattering glow accentuates its surroundings with a soft, candle-like warmth. Previously part of another fixture, the large inverted funnel, as luck would have it, positioned perfectly between the suspension studs of the globe. The hand-burnished, bronze patina finish lends a flattering contrast to the alabaster and the addition of crystal prisms provides a further touch of individuality to this reborn original, one-of-a-kind hanging lamp.
Its dimensions are 13" wide by a depth of 22" (33.02cm x 55.88cm) and it comes with a generous length of similarly finished chain and matching canopy. Approximate weight is 8lbs. Ships anywhere in the world.
Regards, Gary

Full Steam Ahead!

Expanding the style range, this unusual pendant piece is a definite departure from any of my previously created fixtures. Strictly fabricated to be a light source and void of any audible décor, it’s comprised of elements from a vintage pot light, a floor lamp’s filigree base, a chromed ceiling mount fixture, chromed ring from a chandelier and numerous other items. It is atypically entirely silver and brushed metallic in finish and constructed in the steampunk style. Suitable for residential or commercial venues alike, it comes replete with a generous length of chromed chain and matching canopy. It is approximately 11" in depth and 13" wide.
