Deep Fry Floor Lamp

Here it is, another sleek, rather stricking metallic lamp! This one is a large piece, good to stand on the floor or on a big low table. In any case, a conversation piece that fits in a wide range of decoration styles, from rustic to modern or industrial.

Made with a huge cylindrical rack taken from an industrial frying machine, the wooden seat of an old stool, two vintage wooden handles from a 70s cabinet, a round steel sheet of unknown origin, a chrome bulb socket cover and new screws, washers, nuts and bolts, transparent cord, black plug and floor switch, plus a bakelite bulb socket.

The wooden base is loose, it stands on four bolts attached to the 'shade' frame, so it can easily be removed to eventually change the bulb.

Measures: 58cm high, 31cm diameter. The cord is 2 meters long.
