This amazing brass and alabaster standing lamp has beautiful etched tubing and alabaster accents. c.1930. We did a complete restoration on this lamp, which really brought out the awesome copper accents. It also has cast brass and cast iron parts, in addition to three beautiful alabaster accents, all of which are in excellent condition. This lamp has two pull-chain switches that operate independently, so you could use only one light if that’s all you need, or you could use both for extra light! In addition, the lamp has four raised feet on the base and a simple but elegant brass finial at the top.

The lamp shade is brand new, still in its wrapper. If you would rather select your own shade, we would remove ours and reduce the purchase price by $50.

Perfect for living room, dining room, bedroom, library, entranceway, or any space that needs some extra light. Measures 63 1/2″ tall to the top of the finial by 9 1/2″ diameter of the base. The shade is 14″ across the top by 11″ high by 16 1/2″ across the bottom. Rewired.

This early 1900s tamper is signed “The Kramer Bros Fdy Co., Dayton, OH“. It was used by construction people and landscapers to firmly pack dirt, clay, sand, etc. When we saw it, we knew it would make a unique floor lamp, so we repurposed it and kept it out of the landfill. We added a vintage wooden finial and a square cloth shade to complement the square base. In addition, we added an on/off pull-chain switch to make it easy to operate. This could make a great gift for someone who might have used (or is still using) a tamper in his or her profession, or for someone who’s environmentally conscious and appreciates repurposed items.

Perfect for ambiance, as an accent piece, for reading, for an entranceway, or for any purpose you might have. It stands 63 1/2″ to the top of the finial, and the base is 7″ square. The shade is 6 1/4″ across the top, 12″ across the bottom, and 9 3/4″ high. Newly wired.

Could you use an early 1900s water jug converted to a floor lamp? Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind!

The wooden crate was used in the olden days to safely transport glass water jugs. It has a spring-loaded wooden stick in each corner to hold the bottle in place. This crate is in excellent original condition and has lots of natural patina. It’s clearly marked as follows: “This ‘TWOPLEX’ container Made by Fred. C. White, Inc., 241 Water St., NYC. Saratoga State Seal”. We decided to repurpose it so it could live another generation or two! We used vintage brass parts to create a standing lamp with two pull-chain switches. In addition, we used a vintage, four-sided, pyramid-shaped shade and an old finial to finish off our creation!

This is a real conversation piece! It could be perfect in a den, living room, office, bedroom, library, or even in a rustic setting like a cabin! It measures 62 1/2″ high (to the top of the finial) by 12″ across the square wooden crate. The crate itself stands 15″ high, and the shade is 14″ square at the bottom by 11″ tall. It’s newly wired to meet today’s electric codes.
