In the days when houses were heated by a centrally located wood stove and the walls had little if any insulation, it could get quite cold sitting next to the radio while darning socks. In the late 20's and early 1930's, electric parabolic heaters became all the rage. These personal space heaters would provide comforting heat wherever it was needed.
Starting life as a parabolic heater, this vintage piece now casts a reflective warm glow from the Edison bulb. With the inefficient and outdated heating coil replaced with a new- vintage look - light fixture and period style, cloth covered wiring , this lamp is certainly unique. When re-purposing this funky piece we carefully preserved the aged patina, especially noticed on the heavy bronze base.
Bronze Based Parabolic Lamp $299
This lamp started out life as a parabolic heater from the art deco period (circa 1930's). With the polished reflector, the vintage look - Edison bulb - casts excellent light.
We carefully removed the antiquated heating element and replaced it with modern, new electrical lighting components that are manufactured to current safety specs, but have a vintage look...such as the cloth covered cord.
Check out the original art deco design on the cast base. it is hard to believe that it has survived intact after 80 years.
As usual, this unique, one of a kind "art deco" lamp is a Puffin Design original.
