{"product_id":"the-spong-mincer-lamp","title":"The Spong Mincer Lamp","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLong before it gave light, this piece gave dinner. At its core sits a genuine antique mincer, a hand-cranked kitchen workhorse from another century, its cast housing still bearing the maker's name, its hand crank still turning exactly as it did in its first life. Rather than retire it to a shelf, it has been reborn as the heart of a fully working twin-light lamp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMounted on a solid wood backing, the original mincer body anchors two independent light arms, each fashioned from salvaged pipe fittings and finished in aged brass and iron tones. One arm rises high, the other reaches low and forward, an asymmetric composition that gives the piece real sculptural presence from every angle. Each is fitted with a protective wire cage housing an exposed filament bulb, the warm glow catching on the mincer's worn ivory-painted cast iron and the timber grain behind it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe lamp stands on a reclaimed cast iron wheel base, its weathered green patina a striking contrast to the warm wood and brass above, itself a salvaged industrial component, repurposed as a stable, sculptural foundation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a singular object.
