Own a piece of Aotearoa's past with this Edison Lamp crafted from reclaimed tōtara

Handcrafted from a salvaged tōtara fence post, this captivating table lamp whispers tales of New Zealand's rich history.

Tōtara, one of the country's oldest and most revered trees, served as a cornerstone for Māori and European settlers alike.

Its enduring strength made it the ideal material for carving, housing, and of course, fencing.

This particular section likely stood sentinel over rural landscapes for well over a century, silently observing the evolution of New Zealand's agricultural ingenuity.

JB has retained the original No 8 wire, cleaned it up and polished it with natural bees wax.

The addition of a vintage-inspired edison bulb provides a warm and inviting glow, making it a perfect lamp for any room in your home.

It also makes a meaningful gift for those who appreciate the beauty and sustainability of natural timber.

Each lamp comes with a description of its individual history.

Dimensions:

  • Height, with bulb 34 cm; width 15 cm; length 23 cm.
  • Weight: 1.5 kg 

The history of the timber has been retained by leaving any surface marks, while exposing and polishing the beautiful grain.

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 generally freely 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.
