U Collection: Edwardian Richly Carved Mahogany Standard Lamp - Restored & Rewired
SOLD
We discovered this lovely antique standard lamp in an auction and were immediately drawn to its rich carving. In need of some restoration and rewiring, the team set to work to bring it back to life.
The lamp is in now in great condition - it's been rewired with aged brass fittings including: an E27 lamp holder on a universal joint to assist with levelling the shade, around 2 metres of mid-brown twisted retro-style fabric cable, an inline floor switch and a black plug. The wooden bun feet have been remade to enable the column to stand vertically.
The lamp is dressed here with on of our gold vellum coolie shades. The lamp would look equally good with another shade. Please note that the price does not include the shade.
Dimensions: height 166cm
Utopia's Unexpected Lights
All Utopia's lights are unique and are handmade in our studios in North Norfolk from interesting antiques and finds. They each tell a narrative and enjoy close inspection to reveal strong craftsmanship and hidden layers of interest and wonder.
Creating our distinctive lights – the narrative behind the story
Reclaimed elegance – the artefacts that Utopia sources for its lights are deliciously old, usually antique, sometimes vintage, and this ‘narrative’ is reflected in their character, patina and form – Utopia celebrates the knocks, chips, and scratches of their stories. The inspired selection of the original object and the process it goes through to make it covetable and unique is what makes our products special – every lamp is a one-off.
Peace of Mind
Enjoy the aesthetics of top quality heritage styling: traditional twisted fabric cable, aged metal fittings, retro-style chains and traditional plugs, whilst having the peace of mind that your light is safe, having been completely wired/rewired by experts using modern fittings.
Sorry, but we are unable to deliver this lamp due to its size, so please purchase the item and arrange collection from our gallery in Norfolk, kindly notifying us when you plan to arrive. Many thanks.
