DetailsHello, and thanks for stopping by lumenowl!
---------------
INTRO:
This fabulously kitsch dual-arm 1960's table lamp is a real statement. Featuring a bow arm constructed of teak, which supports two pale, rose pink conical plastic shades, this lamp would make a brilliant addition to a mid-century styled home.
---------------
A BIT OF HISTORY:
The lamp features no distinctive makers marks, but the original cabling and lamp holder easily date it back to at least the late 1950's or early 1960's.
---------------
CONDITION:
The base is in excellent vintage condition, with gorgeous grain swirls that have revealed themselves perfectly with after gentle cleaning and polishing with beeswax. A few scuffs and minor dents in the wood can be found, but these are simply part of the vintage charm.
The plastic shades have been gently cleaned to strip away decades of grime, and now shine up a storm when lit.
---------------
THE TECHNICAL BIT:
ROSEBUD has been completely rebuilt from the ground up electrically, with all existing electrical components removed and replaced with modern variants. In the place of the two original Bakelite B22 lamp holders (which were corroded and limited where in the world the lamp could be used) now sits a pair of thermoplastic E14 versions, enabling the lamp to be used with bulbs the world over.
ROSEBUD has been rewired with minimalist transparent cable, featuring a high quality transparent inline rocker switch 20cm from the lamp base (and a further 1m to the matching white UK 3-pin plug). The plastic cable is 2-core, making this a new Class 2 appliance. ROSEBUD 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 holder and plug, and Italian-made cable and switch, which have passed or exceeded relevant CE and EU electrical integrity tests. Finally, the base has been resealed with felt to ensure smooth contact with soft furnishings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can your lamps be customised for my country?
Yes, absolutely! I ship worldwide, and I've already serviced many international orders. My lamps are fitted with either E14/SES or E27/ES lamp holders (which are usable with bulbs sold all over the world) and UK 3-pin plugs, but these can be swapped out to US E26/E12 Candelabra fittings on request for a small additional fee. A plug corresponding to your country will be added, and, if necessary, an inline on/off switch.

Once converted, I will then test the lamps on a transformer and re-certify via an additional PAT test.
Please get in touch for more information regarding a quote for the conversion.Are your lamps safe?
Extremely! Each of my lamps is painstakingly assembled (I have a long history of competency with electrical wiring), and subsequently certified. I am PAT qualified and accredited. Moreover, all of my lamps use 3-core cable to ensure a proper, safe earthing conduit.
Please feel free to message me with any other questions.Can you make custom lamps? What if I provided you with a vase or bottle?
One of the biggest joys of this whole endeavour so far for me has been problem solving each individual lamp I make.
If you've got a vase, bottle (or other item!) lying around you'd like to see turned into a lamp, please do get in touch with me! I'd be more than happy to discuss with you your ideas and how we could best achieve them.Where did the names of your lamps come from?
All the lamps I make (either individual or a series) originally were named after all the dog siblings I've had in the family over the years, or pups I've known over the years. As my collection has grown, I've started to use character names from my favourite films and TV shows.
What happens if my order arrives damaged or broken?
I'm extremely conscientious about packaging. In the unlikely event your order is damaged in transit and arrives to you broken, please immediately photograph both the packaging and the lamp istelf. Please then forward the images within 24 hours to tom@lumenowl.co.uk, and I will then assess and resolve the situation for you.
Can you repair or rewire an old lamp I have?
Yes, absolutely! I've already done this a couple of times. I can remove aged lamp holders, wiring and switches and replace with brand new variants. Once complete, I will exhaustively test and certify via a PAT test.
Please drop me a message if you have any questions about this service, or would like a quote.
