Description: Vintage Victorian Era Gas Torch Lamp Fixture, Ornate Rusty Cast Iron Filagree Very Rusty Man Cave or Garden Art, Prop, Here is a nice vintage RUSTY cast iron gas torch-style table lamp (or possibly a section of a street or pedestal lamp) from the Victorian era when every element of the gas light offered an opportunity for embellishment.Gorgeous detail, beautifully rusted, and wonderfully imperfect which makes it perfect for your plans: Man Cave? Garden Art? Emergency Golf Club? Just this week I had friend visit who saw this standing on my porch and her very words were" What is that?" I will trust you to figure it out. Stands 34" tall on a 6" diameter base. If you ever happen to watch "Mary Poppins" you will see a dance scene wherein a bunch of street urchins waltz and sing on a London street while carrying a torch almost exactly like this one! (YouTube it...) WATCHMACALLIT RUST RELIC & GORK! Industrial remainders, architectural salvage, post-modern junk, found sculpture, relics, wreckage, rubble, debris, flotsam, refuse, leftover, shambles... Decayed, rescued, liberated, scrapped, rust, corroded, tarnished, deteriorated, decomposed, deconstructed, and worn down and out.... While working at the psychiatric crisis unit of a local hospital I got to see a lot of Human Nature, some of which defied understanding. The nurses had a shorthand for this condition: GORK, which translated to "God Only Really Knows." And, really, when it comes down to understanding anything, ain't that the truth at the bottom of everything? The more we know, the more we know we don't know! I've always loved GORK in and around my home so it is a no-brainer to have some here in my shop for you to peruse. Take a look around, but just be careful where you step....https://www.ebay.com/str/portlandpandemonium/Rust-Relics-GORK/_i.html?store_cat=38704217017We Will Scratch Your Vintage Itch Listing and template services provided by inkFrog
