Vintage Camera Tripod Converted into a Floor Lamp
This lot is a vintage camera tripod that has been converted into a floor lamp. The three legs are dark-finished and extend from a central fitting, with a brass-tone column rising to a lamp holder at the top. A length of black flex runs down the stand and along the legs. No lampshade is included. The conversion gives the piece a practical, decorative use while keeping the original tripod form, and it would suit a study, hallway or reading corner.
Condition and Collectability
The stand shows general signs of age and handling consistent with its vintage, including light marks to the surfaces. The fitting and flex have not been tested, and no assurance is given as to their electrical safety or operation. The lamp is offered in the condition shown in the photograph and sold as seen. Its appeal lies in the combination of a vintage camera tripod and a lamp conversion, which may interest collectors of retro photographic equipment, as well as buyers seeking a characterful standard lamp for an interior with an industrial or vintage feel.
