One-of-a-kind paraffin burner floor/table lamp
OK, so I might be a little bit biased, but I think this lamp is an absolute stunner!
This gorgeously patinated agricultural/industrial weed burner has been converted into a true one-off floor or table lamp – there's little chance I'll see another one like it!
The burner has been lightly cleaned (without destroying that vintage patina!) and then lacquered / waxed where appropriate to give it a gorgeous sheen and lock in that lovely ageing.
It's then been fitted with a modern black plastic lampholder, black braided flex, a new 3 amp plug and an on/off push-switch. To finish it off, an amber filament-style LED bulb nestles in the top of the piece, delivering a beautifully warm-coloured light.

This lamp stands a shade over 90cm (3ft) tall in total; the 'drum' at the bottom is 25cm (10in.) tall with a 16cm (6.25in.) diameter; the overall 'footprint' is around 20x30cm (8x12in.).
Please note: this is a one-off, hand-finished vintage piece that may show slight imperfections; it has not been assembled by a robot in a factory...
