Lamps from Recycled Found Objects

LAMPS FROM RECYCLED FOUND OBJECTS

LAMP REVIVAL offers a unique collection of recycled lamps created from found objects. Most are one-of-a-kind lamps dependent on material availability. Musical instrument lamps and vintage collectable lamps are the most popular of the found object lamps.

Vintage Bugle Lamp (Without Shade)

Now, the Boy Scouts of America have one fewer Official Bugle and the world has one more musical instrument lamp. This one is a vintage bugle lamp labeled “Rexcraft Official Bugle Boy Scouts of America.” It is appropriately dinged and bruised to project an authentic vintage look of a repurposed musical instrument.

The bugle is mounted on a handmade black stepped wood base with an integrated wire way. The lamp comes with an 8” harp and finial, but bulb and shade are NOT included. 26-1/2 inches to the top of the finial.

Ceiling Light from Upcycled Neuman Chimney Cleaner

Found object lamps often come with a story. The Neuman Chimney Cleaner is a most clever invention intended to simplify chimney cleaning. The compacted cleaner is suspended from two ropes and lowered down the chimney in its closed form. Pulling up on the control rope causes the prongs to spread, while using the other support rope raises and lowers the cleaner to scrape the chimney walls. Age of this one in unknown, but Orin Neuman of Wittenberg, WI received the original patent in 1930. In 1988, the Schaffer Brush Manufacturing Company in Waukesha, WI acquired the patent rights.

The repurposed ceiling light features included twin clear tubular bulbs and a mechanism to set and lock the flair to suit the intended space. Height is approximately 23 inches, with variable flair from 11 x 7.5 to 18 x 15 inches.

Includes canopy, collar loop, cross bar and ground wire to mount onto an existing switched electric ceiling box.

Antique Wood Planer Lamp (Without Shade)

Recall the time when “handmade” meant not using power tools. This antique manual wood planer may have been used to craft fine furniture, elegant mansions, ships or whatever. Now, you can repurpose this vintage relic to light your life in a totally nostalgic way. The planer is mounted on a hand-crafted black wood base. The lamp comes with a new 3-way turn knob socket and cord/plug, 10-inch harp and finial, but bulb and SHADE ARE NOT INCLUDED. Lamp is 34 inches to top of finial. The planer is 21 inches long.

Note the abused penny attached to the top of the planer, probably to denote the date the planer was purchased, but now it's too worn to read the year.

Vintage Fire Extinguisher Lamp (Without Shade)

Here’s a grand lamp made from a heavily used very vintage copper fire extinguisher. Its label identifies it as The Underwriters Fire Extinguisher manufactured by Knight & Thomas in Boston, Mass. According to a Pinterest posting, this model was probably the first one offered by Knight and Thomas who displayed it in an 1895 magazine ad. Features lots of tarnish and patina but no dents or holes. A stunning décor statement!

Lamp comes with new plug/cord, new 3-way socket, 10” harp and finial, but SHADE AND 3-WAY BULB ARE NOT INCLUDED. 37 inches to top of finial. Canister is 21-1/2” tall to handle ring x 7-1/2” diameter. 5" neck prevents the shade from obscuring the canister's top handle and provides easy access to socket switch.

Vintage Phonograph Horn Lamp (Without Shade)

A vintage brass phonograph horn makes a perfect found object lamp. The well-worn brass horn, retrieved from a dusty old barn in Maine, is mounted on a hand made wood base with sled rails. The 3-way turn knob switch on the upper socket first lights only the horn bulb, then only the upper bulb and finally both bulbs. Sold with 10” harp, finial and both bulbs, but SHADE IS NOT INCLUDED.

The lamp is shipped with a 2 inch diameter globe bulb in the horn, but the buyer is encouraged to try other interesting bulb types: larger globe bulbs, flame bulbs, silver crown, clear or frosted, as well as antique filament bulbs.

Optional custom shade is available featuring one or several vintage phonographs, in the $50-$70 range depending on size and layout. Contact LampRevival

14-1/2” wide x 9-1/2” depth.
