Industrial Bottle Lamp - Steampunk Fixture

This Industrial Bottle Lamp is constructed from American-made black iron piping. The vintage bottle is firmly secured by custom rubber gaskets that grasp the bottle without causing damage. A low wattage bulb is used to illuminate the vintage amber bottle producing a warm ambient light, great next to your office desk or study area. A rotating faucet handle serves as a switch to turn the light on and off, how cleaver! Power is supplied by a retro style cloth covered lamp cord and plug.


The featured bottle in this picture dates between 1890 - 1905 and is very heavy duty with ornate embossing (Don't make them like this anymore!) This a Phoenix Brewery bottle from Buffalo NY and it dates back to before the prohibition. The amber glass is very heavy and makes the bulb look like a burning flame. I love the history behind this unique lamp.
