Should you consider a copper
lamp post for a lighting
solution outdoors you will be
enthralled with its beauty.
Copper, when weathering has
played upon its surface, will
age and show a green patina
called verdigris. It may well
age better than you but that is
part of its charm. It is not
something that will need to be
replaced unless you decide to
extend your property, and it
is in the way, or you of course
move - it is most unlikely that
you would take the fixture
with you. However, an elegant
copper lamp post could well
turn out to be a selling point
of you do decide to
relocate.
Instant kerb appeal from an
attractive light will get viewers
interested in seeing your
property. It suggests a well-
maintained interior – copper
is not a cheap choice – and a
style that many would wish to
emulate. Burnished copper
has a glorious, warm shine
that looks clean and
welcoming. Of course, as
lighting, it does an amazing
job as a lamp post providing
essential and effective
illumination so that areas can
be seen in the dark. This is
also a helpful security
measure that could be
another selling point when
you reach any haggling stage
in your negotiations.
Copper top lanterns can
evoke feelings of a bygone
European era or they can
suggest an exotic Oriental
influence so if you have other
ethnic touches to your décor,
copper could well be the
medium that harmonises your
look to make the exterior
complete. |
