Timeless Timber Lamp | Handcrafted #167
Timeless Timber
Own a piece of New Zealand's timeless landscape. Crafted from reclaimed tōtara wood, a timber long-trusted on farms, this lamp brings a story of endurance and character to your home.
JB, from Shades at Grays, transforms these weathered fence posts into elegant, modern table lamps. The meticulous process reveals the wood's beautiful grain and natural depth.
This unique piece showcases the botanical beauty of lichen that bloomed on the original post, growing in a combination of sunlight and moisture.
The post's original No8 wire has also been retained.
The lamp's warm, ambient light, provided by a replica Edison bulb, is perfect for creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere in any room.
Dimensions:
- Height, with bulb 26 cm; width 17 cm; length 34 cm.
- Weight: 2.4 kg
The wood has been carefully sanded and polished using natural bees wax and some high quality marine varnish to preserve the lichen.
The vintage E27 40W screw fit Edison bulb has a lamp life of about 1500 hours and can be easily changed for any number of similar bulbs that are widely available in New Zealand.
Each lamp is independently tagged and tested. We recommend a maximum 40W bulb.
Your Edison lamp has a felt pad on the base to protect any surface you choose to put it on.
With black fittings, this lamp has a long lead with an in-line switch.
