About the Item

Dating from the 1890s, this industrial fabric or wallpaper roller has been up cycled at some point in time into a table lamp. The roller itself is clearly identified as being made in Belgium and consists of an oak roller or spool fashioned with cast metal or bronze printing design plates with an intricate floral motif. It is unknown in what time period this roller was transformed into a lamp, but is done in an Industrial or Steampunk style.
