… Another Man's Treasure

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.

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
