Thrifted Thursday



Thrifted usually implies cheap, but how about free, or stolen. I was once in a mortuary in Paris, the hospital was getting demolished within the week, and i saw beautiful lamp. First instincts were to lightly tear it out of the wall, i did. The Lamp is made by Jielde in France around the 1950's, it's a great monument to my youthful delinquency.

  2. Cool lamp!

    They were probably going to leave it in the building during demolition. You saved it!


    Thanks for posting on my blog thread.
