Steampunk Lamps and Pipe Lamps

STEAMPUNK LAMPS AND PIPE LAMPS

Steampunk lamps are assembled from steam and machine age components, including pipes, gauges, gears, valves, bulb cages, sockets and other industrial hardware.

Steampunk is a sub genre of science fiction and sometimes fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery. Steampunk works are often set in an alternative history of the 19th century's British Victorian era or American "Wild West", in a post-apocalyptic future during which steam power has maintained usage, or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power. Steampunk perhaps most recognizably features anachronistic technologies or retro-futuristic inventions as people in the 19th century might have envisioned them, and may include fictional machines like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne.

These authentic steampunk lamps feature recycled vintage parts, and should not be confused with the growing popularity of mass produced steampunk lamps made with factory reproductions of steampunk-like parts.

Steampunk Lamp with Vintage Dual Gauge (Without Shade)

An intriguing recycled pipe table lamp built with genuine vintage steampunk machinery. The front turnkey probably adjusted the pressure in two gas tanks. The construction seems to suggest that if you turn on the very aged faucet, you might get some exotic quack medicine or snake oil, depending on how carefully you set pressures in the production tanks.

The structure is mounted on a hand-crafted wood sled rail base, and includes a 3-way upper socket switch that first lights only the included lower tubular bulb, then only the upper shade bulb and, lastly, both bulbs. Comes with 9” harp and custom pipe fitting finial, but SHADE IS NOT INCLUDED. Dark burlap or black shade is recommended.

32 inches to top of finial; 11-1/2 inches wide; 9 Inches deep.

Bathroom Lamp with Clawfoot Bathtub Faucet

The antique plated brass faucet supports a mid century white glass shade in an unfinished steel shade holder. The faucet is layered with old soap scum, but could be polished if desired. The age of the faucet and branded drain vent cover are unknown, but they were manufactured by Wolverine Brass Works established in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1896. The shade can be aimed backward to simulate a water drop, or forward to incorporate a standard or vintage filament bulb (not included).

Galvanized pipe fittings support the faucet that is mounted on a hand-crafted sled rail wood base.

18 inches tall on a 10-1/2 x 9 inch base.

Pipe Lamp with Vintage Pulley and Gears

Pulleys and gears epitomize the Machine Age. Without these simple devices the Industrial Age would never have come to be. And here we have a pipe lamp paying a glorious tribute to all types of mechanization. Most likely, pulleys and gears like these controlled motion and speed in machine tools and conveyors.

Lamp features a 3-way switch that first lights the globe bulb, then only the tubular bulb, and finally both bulbs. The lamp is mounted on a hand-crafted black wood “sled rail” base. Both bulbs are included. Height to top is 23 inches. 8-3/4 inches wide by 11-3/4 inches depth.

The lamp features a 3-way column switch that first lights only the lower antique style filament bulb, then only the upper globe bulb and then both bulbs. Included bulbs may vary from photos. Lamp is approximately 13 x 13 inches and 22-3/4 inches tall.
