This is another "barn find". I actually found this desk lamp hanging in my grandfather's garage. Doing some research, I found out that it was made somewhere in the 60s, in Romania or another European country that were under the communist foot. The original lampshade was missing and I couldn't find any reference photos. I did find a few actually, photos of the same model, but all were missing the lampshade.

This is a complete restoration: all brass parts restored, the switch taken apart and cleaned piece by piece, removed rust and nickel plated iron parts, rewired and crafted a brand new lampshade, feet and grommet. I am happy I could save and reuse the original power cable as well.

I hope that you like my work and enjoy the video! Please LIKE, SHARE & SUBSCRIBE to support the channel! :) Thanks!
