Meet the Laggan Lamp -
‘Bridgerton meets Aussie Squattocracy’
I recently added this stunning antique lamp to my collection, and after replacing its fly-spotted old shade with this much more appropriate one, and getting the electrics tested and tagged, it is now set for its next chapter in a new home.
It’s on display at Handmade Canberra market today (Sunday 14th June) and available for purchase. If the fancy-pants gold-tasselled shade is a too OTT for you, there’s also a more subdued version in a pale blue check, and no tassels in sight.
Why the ref to squattocracy?
Well this lamp was part of an estate sale on a grand old property at Laggan NSW. I would dearly love to see the other furnishings in the homestead, and I hope you’ll forgive my use of AI to help me imagine how it might have looked in its last home.
The doors open at EPIC Canberra at 10am.
I don’t think I’ll be taking this one home with me.
