Embrace History: A 100-Year-Old Wood Plane Reborn as a Wood Lamp

Imagine a lamp that whispers tales of a bygone era. This handcrafted beauty, meticulously restored from a genuine vintage wood plane, carries the legacy of generations of skilled artisans.

The gorgeous beech wood, etched with the marks of its past life, now cradles a warm Edison bulb, casting a soft glow that illuminates your space and ignites conversation.

This Edison table lamp has been created from an old carpenter's block plane made by A. Atkin and Sons, a company established in Sheffield, England, in 1829 which produced quality woodworking tools for well over 100 years.

It is not known when this plane arrived in New Zealand but the original owner’s name J. BAGWORTH and initials JWB are clearly visible on the wood block. Naming of wooden tools was a common practice and helped identify personal tools in a busy workplace.

Each lamp comes with a written history, revealing fascinating details about its origin and adding to its value as a conversation starter and testament to enduring design.

  • The dimensions of the lamp base are: height with bulb, 20cm, width 7 cm, length 43 cm
  • 2 kg

The plane has been cleaned, lightly sanded to remove years of grime, and hand finished with natural beeswax.

The replica vintage E27 40W screw fit Edison bulb, which comes with your lamp, has a 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. It has a long lead and an in-line switch.

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.
