Lichen Wood Table Lamp | Handcrafted Tōtara Lamp #183
The Rural Soul Lamp
Capture the soul of the New Zealand countryside with this elegant heritage table lamp.
Made from a reclaimed tōtara fence post, it represents the beauty and enduring nature of rural life.
JB's dedication to his craft at Shades at Grays ensures that each lamp is a masterpiece, with the wood’s natural beauty and history lovingly preserved.
The wood’s original lichen is like a crafted rustic picture etched on the wood. The individual pattern makes this lamp a one-of-a-kind piece, while careful restoration brings out its warm honeyed hues on its smooth polished sides.
The soft, warm light from the replica Edison bulb enhances the wood's deep tones, creating a cozy and nostalgic ambiance. It’s the perfect piece for anyone who feels a connection to the land and appreciates decor with a story.
Dimensions:
- Height, with bulb 28 cm; width 13 cm; length 13 cm.
- Weight: 1.4 kg
The history of the timber has been retained by leaving any surface marks, while exposing and polishing the beautiful grain with natural bees wax.
The gorgeous lichen has been treated with a high grade marine varnish to preserve its longevity.
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.
