Pair of Tall French Wrought Iron Candelabra with Leaf Motif
These leaf-motif candelabra are simply stunning. In an old rusty surface with traces of gilding on some leaves, they would be magnificent converted into standing lamps with large cylindrical shades. Their detail is exceptional and their presence commanding. The prickets in the middle of the leaves can accept fat candles and the top could also be cut and prickets installed for a dominating pair of candle-lit pieces in any large room.

Pair of Tall French Wrought Iron Candelabra with Leaf Motif
These tall cast iron flame lamps from Paris in their original paint, on square black steel bases with ball feet and black paper shades would make a handsome addition on either side of a console table, long desk or on tall steel stands. Their casting detail is crisp and deep and they are perfectly straight in actuality, despite our crooked photography. Originally used as bollards with chains in between to keep humans off the grass in French parks. Please note dimensions include shades. Three pairs available.
When wallpaper is printed by hand, separate rollers are made to each imprint a different color on the background. These vintage rollers from the 1930s are truly unusual and would make great lamps or sculptural elements on a mantlepiece or table. Ranging in height from 23.75" to 20.5" and between 5.75" and 7.5" in diameter, they are easily converted to lamps because of their hollow insides. Many are made of mahogany with hand carved wooden or bronze appliqués. Please call or email for specific dimensions.
PLEASE NOTE that the two middle ones shown in the lead photo have been sold.
We absolutely adore this funky wrought iron form and the anonymous visionary who transformed it into a lamp! Originally a blouse form from a French haberdashery, it makes a great accent piece on your favorite side table. Presently wired for France, we are happy to have it rewired for you for a very modest up-charge.
This floor lamp is a departure for us, but we just couldn't resist its exceptional design and presentation. The lamp has a chrome base and stem with three separately-lit vertical bubble glass sections that can be lit alone, in tandem with, or without the lights at the top. Made by the German company Besigheimer, the design is classic 1970s and would be perfect adorning a contemporary library or in the corner of a reading nook. Rewired for the US, this lamp is sold without a shade but would look stunning with a black linen cylinder. Overall condition is excellent with one tiny and barely visible dent to the base.
