Vintage 1960's Danish Teak Table Lamps "TWINS (Mini)"

TWINS (Mini)

*PRICE IS PER LAMP*

Hello, and thanks for stopping by lumenowl!

INTRO:

This gorgeous, matching pair of 1960's Scandi-styled teak lamps have been very lovingly restored and carefully brought to 21st century safety standards. Fashioned from a single piece of teak, with a tall tapered/bottle neck and incised ring patterning around their bases, this knockout lamp pair would make perfect dual bedside lamps, or perhaps placed at either end of a long cupboard/media unit.

---------------

A BIT OF HISTORY:

The manufacturer is unknown, but the original vintage British Robrad lamp holders dated the pieces back to at least the early 1960's.

---------------

CONDITION:

The bases are in absolutely stunning condition, and have clearly been very well looked after over the years. There are some minuscule and unobtrusive dents and very minor scratches, but after a gentle clean followed by a very generous beeswax polish the teak is absolutely radiant, with bright, honeyed tones which react beautifully to light.

---------------

THE TECHNICAL BIT:

Both TWINS have had all vintage electrical components removed (and thank God, unearthed switched brass fittings, argh!), and now feature new, high quality, machine milled E27/ES screw brass lamp holders and matching brass fitments, extended slightly from the base to ensure maximum visibility once lampshades are added.

TWINS have been rewired with luxurious quality 3-core bark coloured linen and rayon covered cable in a fantastic zig-zag pattern, featuring a high quality white inline rocker switches 20cm from the lamp base (with another 1m from the switches to the matching white UK 3-pin plugs). The metal lamp holders are fully earthed, and the lamps have been thoroughly PAT tested and approved (with a sticker affixed near the plug to show the PASS status). Components comprise of a British-made and certified lamp holder and plug, and Italian-made cable and switch, which have passed or exceeded relevant CE and EU electrical integrity tests.

INTERNATIONAL VERSIONS:

Whilst lumenowl lamps are by default wired for the UK market, I am more than happy to adapt for use the world over! The existing UK/EU lamp holder can be swapped out for a version relevant to your country, and, if necessary, an inline on/off switch added to the cable. I will also fit a plug suitable for your country. If you would like to purchase the lamp for use outside the UK, please contact me prior to placing your order so I can advise on and add the additional costs to the listing price.
