Vintage Tumble Dryer Lamp

A highly unusual vintage Tumble dryer from the 1950’s. I haven’t been able to source another one like it online so it must be very rare!
The item has been taken apart, restored, stripped of all old wiring, and re purposed into a quirky lamp.
The dryer was originally cream, with many scuff marks, so I decided to sand and repaint in a new set of colours.
The main body and lid being deep purple and the top a light grey.
These colours contrast well with the golden light that appears from the drum of the object and through the old ventilation shaft.
The lid can be closed to provide a ledge for drinks, or open to provide light.
A round mirror has been fixed to the underside of the lid, to enhance the existing shape of the round drum, and add a function and point of interest.
I can imagine it working really well in an industrial warehouse home, where there is plenty of space and to provide an interesting context for it.
It really is a one off item, which is reflected in the price.
The lamp has a gold antique style flex, with a black foot switch to turn it on and off. Unfortunately the original on/off dial at the front could not be utilised for this project. It does still turn though!
All the electrical items used are new and approved by CE safety standards.
The lamp has been PAT tested and approved.
