Electricity and lighting

Many people are looking for suitable lighting for old homes. Since electricity is a young phenomenon and candles and kerosene are not a practical alternative in everyday life, we at Gysinge have manufactured a “lamp for building conservation” that meets all our requirements for historical anchoring, style, design and electrical safety. The fire fork lamp has borrowed its shape from an 18th century fire fork. The linseed oil-fired forging and the hand-turned brass details are the same as on a well-made 18th century fire fork. What has been added is of course the foot itself and the lighting. We have also chosen a building care detail from our range for the screen; the folded cardboard is made of classic chipboard, which with its white side inwards gives an enhanced light glow and its brown outwards creates a certain transparency and above all a very warm and cozy glow. Chipboard is a long-lasting material that can withstand heat in a completely different way to modern plastic shades. The fire fork lamp is a window and table light and is available in two different heights. The low one fits into any environment, the high, slim one gives a different, slightly more modern impression and fits just as well in a new environment.

Lamp base of linseed oil burned iron with turned transitions in polished brass. Screen stand made of lacquered iron wire with a bracket that prevents the screen from wobbling.

Linseed oil fired forging. Brass details. Height incl. shade 52 cm. Shade width 22 cm. Cord length 210 cm.

Max 40 W.

Floor lamp based on a model from the 1920s. Provides good general lighting and is excellent as a reading lamp next to an armchair. Hand forged frame of linseed oil fired iron. Hand-turned brass end knob. Handmade folded lampshade of brown cardboard with white inside. The shade is adjustable thanks to an approved brass hinge.

Classic ceiling lamp in Funkis style. Common in Europe during the 1930s – 1950s. The pendant 50cm, untreated brass. The shade itself is slightly cone-shaped with a leaf pattern at the bottom, hence its name “Flowers”. The glass is of mouth-blown opal glass.

Opal glass – Opal glass is a commonly white glass, which used to be called milk glass. Opal glass has a very good ability to diffuse light effectively and evenly. The surface of our glass is glossy, but opal glass can also be satin or matt. In art, opal glass has ancient origins but was first produced in Venice in the 15th century.

Brass – or poor man’s gold as it used to be called – is a non-magnetic copper alloy, where copper is alloyed with zinc. The higher the copper content, the yellower the tone. Untreated brass oxidizes over time and gives a beautiful matte yellow-brown tone with patina. Untreated brass was completely dominant on fittings and details before the turn of the century 1900.

Nickel-plated brass – Nickel-plating brass prevents oxidation. A thin layer of nickel is applied to the brass in an ion bath using electricity to make the nickel adhere to the brass. The surface becomes silvery, shiny and hard. The surface has a warm tone, unlike chrome, for example, which has a cold tone.
