Water jug converted to floor lamp

Water jug converted to floor lamp Could you use an early 1900s water jug converted to a floor lamp? Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind! The wooden crate was used in the olden days to safely transport glass water jugs. It has a spring-loaded wooden stick in each corner to hold the bottle in place. This crate is in excellent original condition and has lots of natural patina. It’s clearly marked as follows: “This ‘TWOPLEX’ container Made by Fred. C. White, Inc., 241 Water St., NYC. Saratoga State Seal”. We decided to repurpose it so it could live another generation or two! We used vintage brass parts to create a standing lamp with two pull-chain switches. In addition, we used a vintage, four-sided, pyramid-shaped shade and an old finial to finish off our creation! This is a real conversation piece! It could be perfect in a den, living room, office, bedroom, library, or even in a rustic setting like a cabin! It measures 62 1/2″ high (to the top of the finial) by 12″ across the square wooden crate. The crate itself stands 15″ high, and the shade is 14″ square at the bottom by 11″ tall. It’s newly wired to meet today’s electric codes. Find answers to most common questions about our antique light fixtures and the ordering process on our frequently asked questions page.
