day light lamp

   Daylight lamp to work during the dark days of the winter.
From bottom to top : a pulley, 4 forged steel rods, 3 screws & 2 butterfly screw, different parts from old lamps and a glass part coming from an old lamp too. The " bulb " is a led giving day light.
 The 2 butterfly screws allow to move the lamp in different positions which is very  useful. On the middle part there is a forged rod to hold the electric wire so it drops well . This part is fixed with a screw, this allows to move it and get the electric wire passing on the right or the left. The pulley been quite heavy compare to the rest of the lamp it allows to play with the main arms and get it straight or horizontal .

The tall lamp.

   This is the tallest lamp I forged. Going up to more that 2 metres high the long steel rod is screwed on to a large gaz cylinder to which I had to had weight with 2 pulley from an old crane. Every thing is naturally patinated in black and bee's waxed. My atelier is too small to forge this long rode, so I took out the forge and forged it outside. The top part is an assembly of different parts like a green glass isolator coming from a hight voltage pylon, a lampshade which has been patinated black at the forge . The at assembly of those two parts is fixed to forged part that link to the long rode with a bolt and a screw. This allows to control the direction of the lampe. On the forged rod I places 4 fixing points to pass the electric cable. They are forged and hold to the long rod with two little screws coming from old sewing machines. As usual no welding, every part of this lamp is screwed together allowing to unbuilt it easily . 

Spotlight & forge

  This light is a restoration of a rare 1950’s/60’s theatre spotlight by Furse. Totally cleaned I then patinated in black . This spotlight is fixed on a forged steel rod with the original fixing system so as to keep the spotlight fully functional. On the forge half cercle come's 3 fixing points for the electric cable. They are as well forged out of a steel rod and are fixed on the half cercle steel rod with a screw. In this way it is possible to have the electric cable passing on the right or the left side. The lampe is then fixed at 6m. from the ground on the top of the wooden been thanks to a big screw.
