Alchemist's Chamber at the Baltimore Symphony Decorator's Showhouse

My friend Kara sent me this link from Pigtown Design -- it looks like steampunk has made another showhouse fundraiser -- this on in Baltimore. (By my count that's 3 -- San Francisco and Philadephia.)

This one is by McLain Wiesand, a custom furniture builder and restorer.

Art Donovan's Newest Creations


Art is a longtime favorite here at The Steampunk Home, and it's been a while since we've seen a new piece from him (he's been too busy curating the steampunk exhibit at Oxford, among other things...) Luckily for us that dry spell is over.

Pictured above is the Oxford Station Wall Lamp. It's my favorite of the new pieces -- I love how it combines Art Deco lines, an long Edison bulb with such a large glass shade that reminds me of early surgical operating rooms (for some reason...)

This is the Ferryman Reading + Research Lamp.

Art says: "Captain Nemo had a tremendous library on board his vessel, the "Nautilus".
What the good Captain didn't have was a proper reading lamp."


Like the one your grandmother uses with her sewing. Only much, much cooler.

This one has a neat "flame in globe" bulb -- as if you were an alchemist experimenting with catching fire. Eventually Edison would beat you to it, though...


Thanks for sharing, Art!

Lenard does not refer to any figures connected with a branch called art



Lenard's Ferronneria is full of fantastic pieces. My Polish is lacking, so we'll rely on what he says about his work:

La Ferronneria that is Machinecreating. This is a third generation of retransformed machineries known from somewhere else. These subjects have a fictitious function and their author endows them with a compulsive-obsessive syndrome. These mechanisms are made of nobly ageing metal with a discreet contribution of mirrors, electric current, and with intangible participation of models stylized in a retro way.

The whole art is influenced by Hertz formulas, Brewster angle, Kardan shafts, Oldham clutch, Junghans watches and other great creators.
Spiritual patronage is exercised by rabbi Löwa ben Becalel. However, the author does not refer to any figures connected with a branch called art.
