  • Details
    Hello, and thanks for stopping by lumenowl!

    INTRO:

    This gorgeous, striking statement lamp has been totally reconditioned from an original 1960's German/Austrian lamp base. Featuring a frosted white glass envelope shade mounted upon a freeform copper pipe frame, this lamp would immediately pull focus wherever it's placed.

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

    CONDITION:

    The base has been extensively cleaned, and is in excellent vintage condition. Some pitting remains to the metal parts, and there are some very small fleabites around the bottom of the glass shade, but this can be rotated to ensure they are not visible when the lamp is in situ.

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

    THE TECHNICAL BIT:

    CANDLESTICK has had all existing electrical components removed and replaced with modern variants, which now afford the ability of the unit to be safely and properly earthed. Both the E14/SES lamp holder and the pushbutton switch are new.

    The lamp has been rewired with luxurious quality 3-core bark coloured linen and rayon covered cable in a fantastic zig-zag pattern, with 1.2m from the base to the white UK 3-pin plug. An internal cord grip keeps the cable sturdily in place. The metal parts are earthed using three-core cable, and the lamp has 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.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can your lamps be customised for my country?

    Yes, absolutely! I ship worldwide, and I've already serviced many international orders. My lamps are fitted with either E14/SES or E27/ES lamp holders (which are usable with bulbs sold all over the world) and UK 3-pin plugs, but these can be swapped out to US E26/E12 Candelabra fittings on request for a small additional fee. A plug corresponding to your country will be added, and, if necessary, an inline on/off switch.

    Once converted, I will then test the lamps on a transformer and re-certify via an additional PAT test.

    Please simply choose the appropriate option from the "Country" dropdown menu at the top of each listing to have the lamp customised.

    Are your lamps safe?

    Extremely! Each of my lamps is painstakingly assembled (I have a long history of competency with electrical wiring), and subsequently certified. I am PAT qualified and accredited. Moreover, all of my metal lamps use 3-core cable to ensure a proper, safe earthing conduit.

    Please feel free to message me with any other questions.

    Can you make custom lamps? What if I provided you with a vase or bottle?

    One of the biggest joys of this whole endeavour so far for me has been problem solving each individual lamp I make.

    If you've got a vase, bottle (or other item!) lying around you'd like to see turned into a lamp, please do get in touch with me! I'd be more than happy to discuss with you your ideas and how we could best achieve them.

    Where did the names of your lamps come from?

    All the lamps I make (either individual or a series) originally were named after all the dog siblings I've had in the family over the years, or pups I've known over the years. As my collection has grown, I've started to use character names from my favourite films and TV shows.

    What happens if my order arrives damaged or broken?

    I'm extremely conscientious about packaging. In the unlikely event your order is damaged in transit and arrives to you broken, please immediately photograph both the packaging and the lamp istelf. Please then forward the images within 24 hours to tom@lumenowl.co.uk, and I will then assess and resolve the situation for you.

    Can you repair or rewire an old lamp I have?

    Yes, absolutely! I've already done this a couple of times. I can remove aged lamp holders, wiring and switches and replace with brand new variants. Once complete, I will exhaustively test and certify via a PAT test.

    Please drop me a message if you have any questions about this service, or would like a quote.
