Converted Soda syphon lamp

These soda syphon lamps are distinctive early 20th-century pieces, dating from the 1920s/30s, and retain many of the original details that make them so appealing.

The syphon itself  is stamped with the Sparklets maker’s mark on the stem – a reassuring indicator of authenticity and quality. The glass body is encased within a protective braided metal wire mesh, originally designed to strengthen the vessel during everyday use. A chrome-plated top sits above, complete with its dispensing lever and the original  inlet valve cap.

A red line around the glass marks the maximum fill level, a practical detail from the syphon’s former life storing and dispensing carbonated water. These functional elements now read as decorative features, lending the lamps a strong industrial character rooted in genuine utility.

Converted into table lamps, the syphons retain their integrity and visual clarity, making them ideal statement pieces for desks, side tables, or shelves –  objects with history, repurposed with restraint.
