This incredible desk / table lamp is not only a fully functional lamp but also a stunning unique piece of unique art.
This amazing lamp was created by British metalworking artist Chris Walton
The inspiration for this lamp started with a 1930’s Lucas “King Of The Road” bicycle headlamp. It was the perfect shape for MelancholyBot’s head. His main body was a vintage electrical isolation switch and he has vintage engine springs for his legs and vintage taps for his hands. His base came from a 1920’s clothes mangle.
The head can be adjusted which improves his mood :-) . The main body can be opened to display the artists signature and it also makes a good place to store valuables.
The lamp is wired with period correct braided cable and it has been PAT tested for electrical safety.
This lamp is finished with a stunning squirrel cage Edison LED decorative light bulb. This gives a beautiful warm light with the filament clearly visible when in use. It nicely illuminates the robot when it's turned on.
When lit the light looks stunning. The photos really don't do it any justice at all.
Don’t miss this chance to own this truly unique lamp !!
