Contemporary lamps
Antique wired pendant oil lamp
Antique oil lamp. Now wired.
When we found it, it still had its oil burner intact, it was not wired.
We wired it without showing obvious cords.
The frame is painted solid steel. Gold leaf ears.
Super elegant tole shade with gallery with the original finish and handpainted embellishments.
Glass chimney. Partly frosted where the bulbs sits.
Shade can easily be removed for transport.
60cm Ø
83cm top of frame to bottom finial.
We can provide chain and canopy.
Well-made design that meets your wishes, your home, your taste
Okay, tell us, what do you think contemporary lamps look like? What are you looking for? At Empel Collections, we have a wide and varied selection of
ceiling lights,
wall lights,
floor lamps, and
table lamps on our website. But we keep telling our (potential) customers over and over: what you see is not what you have to get. Almost every design can be customized. Different height, colour, finish, cord, finial—you say the word. You could even ask us to design something especially for you. In fact, please, please, please do… it’s what we love most of all… A considered and well-made design that meets your wishes, your home, your taste: that is what we call a
contemporary lamp.
High taste, high spec
We love the artisan aspect of making beautiful lighting just as much as we do the design process. There are so many wonderful materials to work with: gorgeous
minerals, beautiful metals, glorious woods, glittering gold-leaf, warm silver-leaf, a truly endless array of paints and pigments… Believe us when we say our workshop, to us, looks like a sweetshop. And we treat those materials with the respect they deserve, turning them into wonderful lamps that combine high taste design with a high spec finish.
At your service
So, feel free to stroll around on our website. Let your eyes wander along the dozens and dozens of pictures. Make a note of what you like. It can be a lamp ‘as is’ or just a detail that strikes you. Let our designs inspire you, like we get inspired by
vintage pieces or an old interior design photograph. Picture where precisely you would want your lamp—or lamps—to feature, take some measurements and maybe even take some pictures of that particular spot, so that you can email them to us. And then, contact us, by phone or email. Tell us what you are looking for and how we can help you. Don’t worry if you don’t know exactly what you are looking for. We have enough imagination to go around and together we will surely succeed in the perfect design for a timeless and contemporary lamp.
