Vintage 1960's Ribbed Danish Teak Table Lamps "TWINS"

Hello, and thanks for stopping by lumenowl!

*PRICE IS PER LAMP*

INTRO:

This beautiful pair of mid-century 1960's Danish ribbed teak lamps have been fully cleaned, restored and rewired. A gorgeous example of Scandinavian minimalism, these lamps would fit in beautifully with any similarly styled interior. Placing them either side of a long living room table would create a really elegant statement!

---------------

CONDITION:

The base is in stunning vintage condition, with deep, gorgeous swirls that have revealed themselves perfectly with after gentle cleaning and polishing. There are very few and very light scratches and dents to the bodywork, but this just adds to the vintage charm.


---------------

THE TECHNICAL BIT:

TWINS have had all existing electrical components removed and replaced with modern variants. In place of the original Bakelite or brass B22 lamp holder now sit gorgeous, machine-milled brass E27/ES versions with matching brass fitments, extended slightly from the base to ensure maximum visibility once a lampshade is added.



TWINS have been rewired with luxurious quality bark coloured linen and rayon covered cable in a fantastic zig-zag pattern, featuring a high quality white inline rocker switch 20cm from the lamp base (and a further 1m to the matching white UK 3-pin plug). The metal lamp holder is earthed using three-core cable, and TWINS have been thoroughly PAT tested and approved (with a sticker affixed near the plug to show the PASS status). Components comprise of a British-made and certified lamp holder and plug, and Italian-made cable and switch, which have passed or exceeded relevant CE and EU electrical integrity tests.

Finally, the bases have been resealed with felt to ensure smooth contact with soft furnishings.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:

Whilst lumenowl lamps are by default wired for the UK market, I am more than happy to adapt for use the world over! Please get in touch prior to placing your order so I can advise on additional costs.

---------------

EUROPEAN BUYERS:

lumenowl lamps are configured with both the UK and European market in mind, utilising E27/E14 lamp holders and inline on/off switches. Should you wish to purchase a lamp for use in mainland Europe, I will replace the UK 3-pin plug with that of the version native to your country free of charge. The lamp will then undergo another PAT test.

---------------

NORTH AMERICAN BUYERS:

If you're purchasing from the US or Canada, I'll need to take additional further steps to ensure your new lamp works as though you'd bought it locally. The cost to convert one lamp for use in the US or Canada is £20/$25, which can be added to the listing price prior to purchase. This fee includes the following work:

- The removal of the EU/UK E27/ES brass lamp holder and replacing it with that of a brass US UL-certified E26 version. If the lamp features a smaller EU/UK E14 lamp holder, I will provide a small brass E14 to E12 adapter, enabling the use of US E12/Candelabra bulbs.
- The addition of a harp saddle to facilitate the addition of a harp and subsequently a lampshade.
- The stripping out of existing cabling and rewiring the lamp with white, UL-certified 2-core cable with a moulded 2-prong US plug and inline on/off switch.

The lamp will then undergo another PAT test.
