I believe that Steampunk is more than just brass and watchparts. It's finding a way to combine the past and the future in an aesthetic pleasing yet still punkish way. It's living a life that looks old-fashioned, yet speaks to the future. It's taking the detritus of our modern technological society and remaking it into useful things. Join me as I search for items for my house that combine the scientific romanticism of the Victorians with our real present and imagined future.

Scissor Arm Lamps at Pottery Barn
It was just a matter of time -- remember my search for scissor arm lamps (a year and a half ago?). I eventually found mine on eBay. You can walk into a Pottery Barn for yours. The Bristol Accordian Sconce, $179.
There's actually 5 different models -- sconces, table lamps, floor lamps of various sizes.

that happens to me all the time too
I would rather have the original, like you do.
Hey, you could look at it this way, you beat the trend! The originals will be worth a lot more on ebay now!

Thank you for the idea. I didn't know scissor lamps existed. This is exactly what I'm looking for my sewing room!
I have a source that in addition to the wall mount they offer ceiling lights which I love in Kitchens.
