This Wooden Table Lamp is a piece of New Zealand history, lovingly restored and crafted from a vintage carpenter's plane.

Its timeless beauty is complemented by a replica Edison bulb, a natural beeswax finish, and warm hues of the original wood.

Years of grime have been cleaned away to reveal the beautiful beech block - the smoothness a testament to the number of skilled carpenters who once used it in their daily trade.

The initials of the original owner, R.W. are stamped in to the plane and the original Marples & Sons brand is clearly seen on the cutting blade. Marples, from Sheffield in England was one of the leading tool makers in the 19th Century.

The plane is a jack plane - a term that dates back to at least the 17th Century and is associated with the phrase 'jack of all trades'.

The lamp is perfect for any space wanting a distinct and meaningful light source.

  • The dimensions of the lamp base are: length 44 cm, width 8 cm, height with bulb, 20cm.
  • 1.9 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.

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 widely available in New Zealand.

Each lamp is independently tagged and tested to ensure the electrics are safe. 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.
