Vintage Handmade 1960's Teak Table Lamp + Contemporary Brass Shade "TREE" (Includes Bulb)

Hello, and thanks for stopping by lumenowl!

INTRO:

A completely original creation, this gorgeous, sleek little table lamp came about as a brainwave during in the middle of doing a hundred other things. The 1950's teak base has been harvested from a wood and ceramic lamp that broke during transit to me, but I liked the teak sections so much, I kept them, hoping I'd one day have use for them.

The small teak base has been retrofitted with deco-styled brass cap and subsequently a lamp holder. I've paired the lamp with a contemporary-yet-extremely-retro conical brass shade, giving the appearance of a tree. This gorgeous, one-of-a-kind little lamp would make fantastic mood lighting tucked away on a sideboard or in a large cupboard.

CONDITION:

The original teak is in excellent vintage condition, save for a few minor surface-level scratches. I've given it a gentle polish with beeswax, and it now shines up a storm.

The modern brushed brass shade is also in excellent condition, with just the most minor of scuffs.

THE TECHNICAL BIT:

TREE has been fully (but respectfully) restored from the original 1950's lamp parts. On top of the stepped brass plate now sits a high quality, machine-milled copper E14/SES version, and thus making the lamp compatible with bulbs sold in the UK and Europe. The lamp holder has been extended from the base with new brass to ensure maximum visibility once the brass shade is added.

TREE has been wired with luxurious quality bark coloured linen and rayon covered cable in a fantastic zig-zag pattern, featuring high quality black inline rocker switches 20cm from the lamp bases (and a further 1m to the matching black UK 3-pin plug). The metal lamp holder is fully earthed using three-core cable, and the lamp has 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 holders and plugs, and Italian-made cable and switches, which have passed or exceeded relevant CE and EU electrical integrity tests.

Finally, the base has been sealed with new felt, to ensure smooth contact with soft furnishings.

The lamp includes a 4w amber-tinted E14 LED G45 2700K globe bulb, which provides warm but bright light, and creates fantastic up and downlighting through the metal shade.

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 Americas or Canada, I'll need to take additional steps to ensure your new lamp works as though you'd bought it locally. The cost to convert one lamp in this way is £20/$25, which can be added upfront to the listing price prior to purchase. The 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 EU/UK E14 lamp holder, I will provide a small brass E14 to E12 adapter, enabling the use of standard US E12/Candelabra bulbs.
- The fitting 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.
