This unique table lamp is a work of art made from a recycled wooden carpenter's plane.

Polished with natural beeswax, it stands out with its antique charm and classic Edison bulb, adding a distinct look to any room.

This one-of-a kind table lamp has been created from an old carpenter's wood block plane made by Alex Mathieson & Sons, a company established in Glasgow, in the early 19th Century.

The Mathieson brand is incorporated into the steel and is still visible on the cutting blade. It features a 'half tote' handle favoured by many craftsmen.

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

Each plane comes with a written history.

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

I have tried to retain a sense of the history of the tool by leaving surface marks while cleaning and polishing the beautiful beech wood.

The 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 generally freely available in New Zealand.

Each lamp is 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.
