Hi all, this is my first post on your wonderful site. I have only been interested in everything Tilley for about six months so far and have several different lamps that I use unrestored which I keep in my workshop. Recently I have focused more on table lamps due to my wife wanting “NICE CLEAN” lamps to display in the house. I have almost finished working on 5 table lamps. They all came to me in a pretty incomplete sad state of affairs and I have been sourcing parts for a couple of months. Still got work to do on some of them but I just thought I would share the progress so far. Forgive me if I have this wrong and feel free to correct me if I have but I’m sure the left lamp is a TL106 with a genuine Tilley pleated shade. The second one is a TL11and has a Cranberry no 3 gas lamp shade. The third is also a TL11 but with a Blue Davsil onion globe. The fourth is a TL136 with a genuine Tilley Opal shade. The fifth is also a TL 106. Comments welcomed. Ian Miles
Hi Wim, I have other table lamps I use on almost a daily basis. I think some of these five lamps I will offer for sale when I have enjoyed my handy work for a few weeks.
Hi Ian I use Tilleys (or is it Tillies?) quite a bit What would be your go to lamp/lantern? Regards pb
Beautiful lamps. To restore so excellently with only a short time in the hobby you must be a very handy person.
Hi pb, I found that globe at a local flea market. It looked the right size for a Tilley gallery so gambled £5 and bought it. I love it because its frosted and you can't actually see the mantle.
Thanks Stevie, The lamps are all on display in our house. Believe it or not the original Tilley white shade took me for ever to find.
Yes, I luckily found a similar original Tilley shade a year or two ago. One sold recently on fleabay for what seemed an extraordinary amount. There again, everything looks expensive to me these days!
