A Touch of the Gothic, The Glamour, The Glamour), we're always on the look out for original, stylish lighting to add to our stock.
Our rather splendid 'metropolis' chandelier has now been whisked away by a happy punter to a stylish interior somewhere. A tricky act to follow, we know, but with this nautically-inspired creation we think we've got a bit of a stunner...
This refurbished yacht spotlight has been mounted onto an old 1930's wooden surveyor's tripod, to create a strikingly unique floor lamp.
Of course we don't just concentrate on bagging the big, impressive stuff, no, no, no. We are equally keen on the more 'day to day', some may say 'less damn flash' desk lamps and light shades. This lovely green-painted steel desk lamp hails from the U.S.A. and dates from the 1940's.
This more demure (but shiny shiny shiny!) stripped metal spotlight desk lamp was a Swedish purchase from one of our buying trips.
On which note, we leave you with the tantalising prospect of a host of new Scandiwegian purchases coming this way. We have just returned from some foraging in Sweden, our suitcases bulging with gorgeous opaline light shades and ultra practical, yet totally stylish, Scandinavian luggage/clothes racks.
Until soon...
PS Many thanks to Ödsmål Storage Solutions for, um, logistics support.
