Upcycled, Vintage, Handmade, Industrial & Energy efficient! What more could you want from household lighting?

This AMAZING lamp was created from a vintage 30" copper timpani drum that was buried in the "mines of unseen value". The drum skin across the top was removed, along with the foot pedal hardware & 3 legged cast metal stand.

I created very sturdy new hanging hardware that relies on the inner support rods of the drum to support it's weight. This ensures the weight is evenly distributed around the steel ring at the bottom edge of the drum. The new, heavy duty hardware at the top is bolted securely to the inner support rods & the cast metal support.

The faux alabaster dome is suspended from the inside support rods & has spiraled copper finials. The 7 watt LED bulb is guaranteed to last at least 5 years & is approximately equal in lumens to a 60 watt incandescent bulb. The socket and 12 foot white cord are from the wonderful world of Ikea.
