Resting Twitch Lights "Rescue & Rewire"
This gorgeous hanging lamp was presented to me in a much different way. The green lens plates were taped together in a stack. The main body was tied together with an old piece of cloth. Thankfully all that was required to return solidity to this portion was replacing one missing bolt and tightening the other bolts connecting each piece to its neighbors. Finally, the crown piece with the light socket was jumbled up in the chain and old lamp wire. With the addition of several spider egg sacs attached inside the cap and to the fully rusted lamp stem.
As mentioned above tweaking the main body of the lamp and sliding the lenses into their slots was quick and easy. Far easier than I expected. To bring the lamp back to life I completely updated the electrical parts from socket to plug. Using a gold braid cloth covered wire to maintain a vintage feel. Along with a simple on/off inline switch and replica plug. Both in matching gold.
What began as a questionable project piece carried in a bag is once again an outstanding antique hanging lamp.
