Unique Wooden Table Lamp | Handcrafted | Wharf series #88
A beautiful, handrafted, timber table lamp with gorgeous grain, polished with natural beeswax and combined with an edison light bulb.
The lamp has been created from wharf timber, reclaimed and recycled following restoration work on the Eastbourne wharf in Wellington Harbour.
This unique lamp, crafted in Wellington New Zealand, provides interest by day and ambient lighting for your home at night.
The timber is Australian Jarrah, imported and used along with other Australian hardwoods in late nineteenth century New Zealand for commercial and industrial construction. This piece is likely to be well over 100 years old.
- The dimensions of the lamp base are: length 35 cm, width 20 cm, height (including bulb) 26 cm.
- Weight: 4.8 kg
The history of the timber has been retained by incorporating construction elements, bolt holes and surface marks while still exposing and polishing the beautiful end grain.
Attempts are made to retain any ironwork (bolts and nails) that are connected to the specific piece of timber.
Natural beeswax is used to polish the wood and any ironwork.
The vintage E27 40W screw fit Edison light 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 unique Edison table lamp has a felt pad on the base to protect any surface you choose to put it on.
