I have a small group of containers I picked up at a thrift store made like this. They even have leather lids....I think 1 of them might have been made to hold tobacco for a pipe smoker...either way it is a cool looking lamp.

WOOOF. Hot and sexy. This is going on the short list for a gentleman's co-op redo I am working on.

beautiful and so well detailed as are all the offerings from bddw. as we say in new york, so, how much?

How come something this good is never offered as a "hot or not"?

I'll add a meow

And three out of three Patri(c)ks seem to really love it!!

Add me to the love it list.

Okay, the design is great, but why does the lamp have a 60 watt max? Reminds me of a lot of third world construction - great overall materials and design but then they use cheesy/cheap hinges, etc. that render the object nearly useless.

You do not need a thousand watt bulb in a lamp. One lamp should not be THE source for all your lighting.

Wouldn't mind a three-way. Bulb, that is.

ev and p(2): lamps can be rewired. And this one would be worth it.

I totally agree this is quite beautiful.

As for the wattage, most 3 ways tend to be of higher wattage, like 75-100-150 or some such and it often has much to do with the heat and the shade that surrounds it, although for most table lamps for reading etc, one needs at least 75-100 watts, or it's energy saving equivalent version to provide enough LUMINS necessary for enough light to see what you are reading confortably is my guess.

For accents and such, 40-60 watts are perfect for those applications and this may be more of an accent type than a reading/task lamp.

That 75-100 is assuming it's the only light source in the vicinity, right? That's kind of my point... that it shouldn't necessarily be.
