Restoration of a banker-style desk lamp

#Restoration
In this video, I will show you how I restored a desk lamp from the 1960s. The lamp is made in the style of a banker’s lamp. The metals used to make the lamp are steel sheet, copper, and brass. The metals were covered with a thin layer of nickel, which was very easy to remove. I decided not to restore its original look and instead give it a slightly more modern style. See how it turned out and let me know in the comments if you like this kind of renovation. Enjoy watching!

I like this colour. It is technical restoration and optical upcycling to a modern style. 👍👍👍👍👍

Yes, that's right, it didn't make sense to restore the lamp to its original state due to the sloppy soldering, which caused the sheet metal to deform. Thank you, and I'm glad you liked it.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it. I wanted to paint it black, but green looks better.

Una restauracion perfecta, pero... de que sirve la toma de tierra cuando el enchufe no tiene toma de tierra. Saludos desde Barcelona España

[@rustyyazo]

Instalé un cable de 3 hilos y un enchufe con conexión a tierra, no se ve en el video. La lámpara está conectada a tierra y es segura. Gracias por tu comentario y me alegro que te haya gustado. Un saludo para ti y para Barcelona.

Great result but it needs nicer looking bulb.

[@rustyyazo]

This is the smallest light bulb I managed to buy; it may not be very pretty, but it’s not visible. All the LED bulbs I screwed in there were too big and too noticeable, and it looked bad. Thanks for the comment, and I’m glad you liked it.
