These beautiful wrought iron standard lamps are now fully restored, rewired and ready for sale! The black one was part of our Glaswegian haul back in April. A stunning example of the blacksmith's craft, it features unfurling scrolls with trailing leaves and rosebuds, all in worked iron.
Dating from the 1890's, they originally started life as bases for oil lamps, but lost their way for a while when some new-fangled thing called 'electricity' caught on. Now we've given them a new (and frankly, more stylish) lease of life by adapting them for modern use.
They join this exceedingly elegant ceiling lantern - it's been reglazed, restored and rewired ready to make a splendid centrepiece for any room.
Shame Tim Burton's not on our (e)mailing list - we're sure he and Helena would be lusting after this lot for their sitting room...
P.S. You can get more info on these items (and a whole lot of other MKS goodies) by clicking on the links under each image and/or by visiting LASSCO in person at beautiful Brunswick House, Vauxhall...
