Free as a Bird Cage Light!

Found this Vintage Hendryx Art Deco Bird Cage (the Cadillac of cages I am told) & it screeched make me into a lamp. The filaments of the Edison bulb echo the gracefully deco lines of the cage. 

Touch this bad boy anywhere & it dims the light. Open the cage door to change the bulb. 

No birds allowed though, tweety would go batty in this thing. One of a kind (for now)—Looking for more cages. Hanging version coming soon!

Lamp Teaser—a hint of what's to come this Saturday & Sunday!

Here is a glimpse of some of the more than 40 lamps in the show this weekend! Come out to Transistor 3819 N. Lincoln Avenue to see the lights in person—2 days than gone...

Giant Lamp Sale Needs Giant Lamp

We will be posting sneak peeks of our lamp sale (December 3 & 4—3819 N. Lincoln) starting with this ginormous vintage driftwood lamp.  55" Tall—that's 4 1/2 feet of wood! That's alot of wood. Serious wood. The shade is 30"across. My son, Gunnar, is a little scared of this thing and for good reason. 

[Robin hates this one—but not to worry—we have a HUGE variety of pieces for the sale—art deco chrome, 60s pottery, danish modern teak & brass—floor lamps, hanging lamps, desk lamps, table lamps & yes this crazy thing]
