Old brass and woodwind instruments re-purposed as lamps can give a new kick to a fairly commonplace item. We only use banged up, damaged, generic horns that would be too costly to restore for this transition. Once we dust them off, put them on a base and light the top with a lampsocket, they really glow. The old metal loves the light that spills down. They become a trophy of sorts. We've been told that they have brought lyrical interest to our customer's homes. Even the musicians amongst us, after raising an eyebrow or two, have happily installed these lamps in their music rooms.
The little green enamel French market lamps that once illuminated vegetable stalls, bakery counters and bistro tables still tickle us with their simplicity. Either grouped or hung in a line, they are an honest and "hard-working" element that transports us to a French Marketplace.
