Fireman
Hat
It
was a vintage Verdun Fire hat of heavy leather and brass trim that
had been used by the client’s father and a family treasure.
It is mounted on a double wood base, on an old hat form so
the hat could be easily removed and replaced. It
was placed at such an angle that was complimented by the parchment
oval leaf and red trimmed shade. The client was very pleased. |

Spinning
Wheel
A toy
spinning wheel, mounted on a simple wood base was a find for this
client who used it in her new grandchild’s nursery. The shade
was a parchment simulated to look like leather in blue and amber
tones.

Antique
Hot Water Bottles
This pair of c/
1918 American chrome plated hot water bottles were in my show room
for a very short time before being sold. Metal
hot water bottles come in many sizes and shapes and transform very
nicely into lamps, a true conversation piece.

Toy Red Boat
This was great fun to make up. The boat was
very obviously made by a very doting Grandpa and the bright red
opaque, oval shade with multi-coloured bands made for a very
handsome piece. It now lives in Chicago.

Sewing machine
A client brought us her grandmother's rusty Singer sewing machine
that she had brought to Canada when she came as a young war-bride.
We restored the machine to a very presentable state, mounted it
into beautifully fashioned base, electrified it and then topped it
off with a rectangular shaped shade which was trimmed with an
etched brass leaf design inspired by the design on the machine.
The client was amazed and very pleased. |
