This is the largest and most impressive early mirrored lamp we have ever seen. We found this rare example in Canada where it was originally used to light a playhouse lobby. It has 125 individual mirrors in 3 rows, 16 bulbs on 2 rows and the original gas jet ring. The shade is signed Wheeler […]

We were told that this one-of-a-kind hand made lamp originally came from the NY Worlds Fair. There were no markings and it’s unsigned so we can’t be sure of its origin. The quality and precision of the machining is beyond what would be found on a lamp. We would guess that it was a 6 […]

I’m guessing that this lamp it 1930s-1940s. They were salvaged from an old school gymnasium. It’s difficult to judge scale from pictures on this type of lamp, but it’s larger than you may think.

Their large size also makes them dramatic. We have a collection of 6 lamps. Buy one or all 6… $4200 each. We can’t […]

The look is rustic and unlike anything else we have offered, these lamps are about 75 to 100 years old and some have the original […]

We cut our teeth on early industrial lighting and have tried to stay close to that esthetic. But the more focused we are on lighting the more we discover. Some of the large, rare and important modern examples are amazing. The variety, inventiveness and striking space age quality just can’t be ignored. Part of the […]

“Run by father-and-son team Steve and Daniel Marc Erenberg, this store and showroom is filled with turn-of-the century mechanical devices and curios, as well as unique refashioned lighting and lamps. But are the goods truly unique? When we stopped by recently, an 1840 papier-mâché anatomical model of a horse had just been delivered.” “115 North […]

I’m just back from an interesting trip up the Rhine. In Germany we discovered Siegfried’s Mechanical Music Museum in Rüdesheim… one of the best mechanical music museums in the world. In Holland we were chasing windmills as well as antique lamps. There we found a unique Arts and Crafts style called “The Amsterdam School” and brought back a few […]
