U Collection: Antique Copper & Brass Hunting Horn Floor Lamp
U Collection: Antique Copper & Brass Hunting Horn Floor Lamp
SOLD
We found this lovely antique copper and brass hunting horn and transformed it into an elegant floor lamp. Interestingly, the horn shows signs of how it was made with dovetail joints and hammer marks, adding character and an attractive patina to the piece. The brass parts look less old.
The horn makes a great short standard lamp. It has been transformed using quality British-made fittings including: an E27 solid brass lamp/bulb holder, a universal joint (to allow levelling of the shade/LED) around 2 metres of mid-brown cable, an inline floor switch and a black plug. The hardwood polished base has been specially turned.
It is dressed here with one of our Salthouse 30cm drum shades - it would look equally good with a different design. Please note that the shade is not included in the price.
Dimensions: height 137cm x base diameter 29.5cm
Utopia's Unexpected Lights
All Utopia's lights are unique and are handmade in our studios in North Norfolk from interesting antiques and finds. They each tell a narrative and enjoy close inspection to reveal strong craftsmanship and hidden layers of interest and wonder.
Creating our distinctive lights – the narrative behind the story
Reclaimed elegance – the artefacts that Utopia sources for its lights are deliciously old, usually antique, sometimes vintage, and this ‘narrative’ is reflected in their character, patina and form – Utopia celebrates the knocks, chips, and scratches of their stories. The inspired selection of the original object and the process it goes through to make it covetable and unique is what makes our products special – every lamp is a one-off.
Peace of Mind
Enjoy the aesthetics of top quality heritage styling: traditional twisted fabric cable, aged metal fittings, retro-style chains and traditional plugs, whilst having the peace of mind that your light is safe, having been completely wired/rewired by experts using modern fittings.
Due to the length of this lamp we are unable to offer delivery, therefore please purchase it and collect from our gallery in Holt.
