Brass gooseneck shell lamp

A beautifully composed brass gooseneck shell lamp restored using a remarkable selection of reclaimed antique parts. The ash base was made locally and can be finished in a stain or left in its natural tone, allowing the piece to suit a range of interiors.
 
The base switch is a reclaimed brass plug socket from a Georgian home, while the gooseneck arm has been relaid from an earlier project. Original nickel shell and switched bulb holders provided the inspiration for the whole design, giving the lamp its distinctive character and sense of authenticity.
 
The quality of the components makes it a truly unique piece, full of charm, craftsmanship and satisfying mechanical detail.
