As consummate scavengers, we constantly root through salvage yards for unique finds. A recent pay dirt unearthed a selection of well-worn camlocks, originally used for industrial hoses. Their soft patina seemed just below a ruddy surface. Sure enough, a little TLC revealed warm, aged beauty. Sunday Under Glass is the latest lamp to employ these unusual forms with the camlock merging a creamy white ceramic base to a hand sewn shade of gray and gold block prints and a melange of thick neutral papers stitched through with sage, silver, and pale yellow threads.

All "Empire" lamps include new sockets, plugs and wiring. Every lamp is a unique combination of hand-made ceramics and found objects produced in our Northern CA studios. The shades use heavy acid-free rag papers and are preserved with UV and moisture-lock archival protection.
