Step into something wonderfully theatrical with this one-of-a-kind upcycled telephone lamp, handcrafted from an original vintage black rotary telephone and reimagined as a bold steampunk statement piece.
Created in our family-run workshop, this striking design transforms a classic telephone into an atmospheric feature lamp, complete with a genuine 100% wool top hat, vintage-style steampunk goggles, brass-toned mechanical detailing, and a sculptural metal bulb cage.
At the centre of the piece is a warm Edison-style LED bulb with a glowing spiral filament, giving off a soft amber light that feels nostalgic, dramatic, and just the right amount of mysterious. The original rotary dial, complete with its “Wait for Dial Tone” centre detail, remains a beautiful focal point and adds to the character of the piece.
The lamp is fitted with a vintage-style braided cable and inline dimmer switch, allowing you to adjust the glow from subtle ambient lighting to full theatrical statement mode.
Perfect for a study, hallway, home bar, reading corner, office, boutique, or anyone who likes their lighting with a bit of story, drama, and industrial charm.
