Pagoda Table Lamp

$970.00

Flowers and Embossed Stems ~ Handcrafted from 22 gauge galvanized sheet metal ~ Pop Riveting ~ Metal Shaping

The Tea House, a pagoda style table lamp from my new series called Fender Bender. Inspired by the auto body industry and their techniques with sheet metal manipulation.

I crafted this lamp from 22 gauge sheet metal by folding the material into different compartments and then pop riveting them together. All surfaces have been finished with metal blueing to tone down the shiny nature of galvanized metal. Rose color painted steel flowers were attached via 1/4-20 rivet nuts and the stems embossed via bead roller.

Four folded panels with holes punched out via dimple die set and riveted together make the lampshade. A mother of pearl glass with tones of pink and teal green adorns this illuminated metal art. The lamp base is made from 1/4" steel that has been threaded for attaching hardware. Circular leather pieces were cut for the foot pads, making it extra stable and scratch free on furniture. Two 35 watt equivalent led bayonet style bulbs light up this first edition center piece.

Note: one of the glass panels in the lampshade cracked in two places and was glued back together. I did try to find a replacement but it wasn't available. It is well secured to the shade. A proper photo shoot is on my schedule for better pictures and will edit this listing to add images.

    This "phantom" lamp is a great piece of creative design. The black, brass, and copper base is handsome and intriguing, and the vertical light-saber-like frosted glass around the elongated bulb make it look like something out of Star Wars. John's ingenuity and attention to detail are really showcased here. Thank you!.

    This Rennaissance table lamp is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, with a satisfying heft, quality brass electrical parts, and a gorgeous blue finish. It creatively incorporates vintage parts from old furniture and industrial machinery to make something original and beautiful. It came packed for a trip to the moon. Thank you, John.

    This Candy Purple lamp is just that; it has a dark purple finish so vibrant it almost looks metallic, though in fact it is more like enamel. Its design is simple but elegant and nicely balanced. The brass electrical parts, which I feared might be just the standard cheap stuff, turned out to be high quality stock parts made of heavy solid brass. John clearly cares about the details!

    This "Wedding Cake" lamp is a great example of John Garloff's imaginative and supremely careful work. The very concept of spiraling the white cylinders around the pink central column, and fastening each cylinder on with a brass ball, is quite a stroke of inspiration. The colors--white, pink (mostly hidden and just peaking through), and brass are great together and do indeed remind one of frosting on a wedding cake.

    I'm not sure how John managed to line up all these separate cylinders so perfectly with the holes he must have drilled to fasten them; there is not a gap anywhere to be seen. The lamp does just what we need it to visually in our room, and at the same time it's also a real conversation piece in its own right when you get up close to it. This is our fourth lamp from John, and all are meticulously made.
