Gas Light

The Gaslight

As with all design, there are many factors that make a piece pleasing to the eye. If everything is |"right", the end result often illicits an emotional response. For many of us this manifests itself as that warm fuzzy feeling deep inside. 

The "Gaslight" seems to have this affect on people.






This lighting piece started when we found a very substantial vintage tripod used in the movie industry. By itself, it just screamed potential, but I just couldn't find a light that did it justice. That says a lot as we have any number of vintage lights in our warehouse to choose from...but nothing was quite right. 


The search contiued for well over a year then I remembered an industrial gas light in a friends collection in Northern Idaho. A quick phone call confrmed that she still had it and would consider parting with it. To cut to the chase...by the end of the day this very funky light was in our studio.  



In remarkably good shape for it's age, I replaced the gas parts with modern electrical components and topped it off with a fat "Edison" bulb.  Big, bold and beautiful, this tripod lamp will make a statement in any room.

As always...this is one of a kind and priced right at $799.
