An antique silver plated dish tray repurposed into a table lamp
An elegant, silver plated oval dish holder that I have repurposed into a unique table lamp.
I wanted to keep all the ornate detail of the 1930’s metal work visible and keep the nice hollow shape of the vessel, so I created a clear Perspex inset for the dish.
I then poured a thin layer of resin onto the Perspex to create a shiny, dappled and robust surface for the lamp stem.
The silver chrome lamp stem appears to hover on the surface of the resin.
I have added a small dark red ball to the base to provide a touch of colour and character to the lamp.
I’ve also used a lovely burgundy braided cable that complements the design.
The vintage glass shade sits within a silver cup, with a spring clip to hold it in place securely.
The transparent shade has similar detail and patterning to the dish, and creates a lovely warm light.
The lamp has a silver bayonet cap lamp holder that takes a B22 bulb, which is included in the price.
There is a black inline switch midway along the cable to turn the lamp on and off with ease.
All electrical items used are new and approved by CE standards.
The lamp has been PAT tested.
I love the character and nostalgic charm of the object, with its four bun feet and twin handles. The silver shine and detailing are also lovely features.
There are two of these available, the other listing is made using a slightly larger dish. Let me know if you are interested in both, and I can offer a reduction in price.
