  • Time-Worn Patina: The retained marks and blemishes tell the story of its working life, adding a unique sense of history and character.
  • Vintage Edison Glow: Enhanced with a warm, 40W vintage Edison bulb, complete with intricate filaments, creating a captivating, nostalgic ambiance.
  • Furniture Protection: A felt pad underneath protects your surfaces from scratches.
  • New Zealand History: While its arrival in New Zealand is a mystery, it adds to the unique history of this item.
