Mr Woodson (via the House & Garden site) writes to tell of a shop called Urban Archeology.  Now, don’t be dissapointed that it doesn’t advocate digging up your neighbours garden to find treasure, but what it does have is a perfectly wonderful collection of lights.  My personal favourite category is the Exterior Wallmount lights, because it features the ‘Harbour’ light (above right) and the ‘Marine Cover’ light (above left) – and they’re all available in four different brass finishes!  (And some other finishes, but brass is my favourite).  There’s shiny, green patina, brown patina and antique brass – and it has to be said that some of them would not look out of place on or around the Nautilus or earth drilling vessel.

They are pricey, as this does seem to be a rather high end shop (which caters to shop fitting also) but it certainly fires the imagination – I find it interesting that I am drawn to the ‘caged light’ look for my Steampunk fittings, for example, despite the fact the site is full to the gills of deco and nouveau, and quite a few eastern looking fittings also.  Thank you, Mr Woodson – what a facinating find.
