What is this and where can I find one?

Good morning!

I'm hoping someone can help me...

My wife saw this on holiday and loved it, but unfortunately it had already sold. Her birthday is coming up so I'd like to get her one but for the life of me I can't seem to find one anywhere online - or anything similar.

Could anyone please shed any light on what it is, and what I should be searching for to try to find one?

You can't see it well in the picture but this is actually a water feature and there are small droplets of water running down the wires

Thanks in advance

 

Think it’s a mineral oil lamp.

 

Amazing! Thank you! Found it!

 

Hi Froglet!

Welcome to Antiquers............

 

To keep you updated... I found one on eBay almost identical to the one in the image, which I've now purchased and will drive a 160 mile round trip to pick up later this week!

Thanks again

 

Wow!

That's what I call LOVE!

Lucky wife to have such a thoughtful husband.

 

Ahah! Thank you! I just hope she agrees

 

Hi @Froglet89 and WELCOME to ANTIQUERS!!! Happy for you that you found what you wanted!!!!

 

Ah! I can smell the late 1960's / Early 70's and visions of Austin Powers ! When I was a wee kid , there was a movie theatre in San Jose and a restaurant in Santa cruz that had these ...... gotta love them for nostalgia purposes !

 

There was a big advertising one on here awhile ago.

When Midway Mall in Elyria, Oh opened in the mid 1960s they had a giant version. The oil drops slid down 30 foot tall wires into a reflecting pool. It was called the Wonderfall.

Oh, there was one in the Topanga shopping mall in the west end of the San Fernando Valley when I was in High School! At least 3 stories high. And we thought it the absolute cutting edge of decor!

Saw this on American Pickers I think? Popular in the 70s I believe they said
