Vintage 1960's Table order Lamp "GRITTY"

Hello, and thanks for stopping by lumenowl!

INTRO:

This beautiful, fabulously textured 1960's ceramic lamp base has had new life breathed into it, bringing it in line with 21st century safety standards. The base itself is presented in bottle form, with a midriff section of gritty, sand-like textured relief patterning. This neutral, stunning lamp would be fabulous addition to any room.

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

CONDITION:

The base is in absolutely stunning condition, with no cracks, chips, restoration or scratch spoiling its aesthetic.

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

THE TECHNICAL BIT:

GRITTY arrived to me unwired, and now features a new, high quality, machine milled E27/ES screw brass lamp holder, extended slightly from the base to ensure maximum visibility once a lampshade is added.

GRITTY has been rewired with fabulous transparent 3-core cable, and features a high quality white inline rocker switch 20cm from the lamp base (and another 1m from the switch to the matching white UK 3-pin plug). The metal lamp holder is fully earthed, and GRITTY has been thoroughly PAT tested and approved (with a sticker affixed near the plug to show the PASS status) order. Components comprise of British-made and certified lamp holder, plug, cable and switch, which have passed or exceeded relevant CE and EU electrical integrity tests.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:

Whilst lumenowl lamps are by default wired for the UK market, I am more than happy to adapt for use the world over! Please get in touch prior to placing your order so I can advise on additional costs.

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

EUROPEAN BUYERS:

lumenowl lamps are configured with both the UK and European market in mind, utilising E27/E14 lamp holders and inline on/off switches. Should you wish to purchase a lamp for use in mainland Europe, I will replace the UK 3-pin plug with that of the version native to your country free of charge. The lamp will then undergo another PAT test.

NORTH AMERICAN BUYERS:

If you're purchasing from the US or Canada, I'll need to take additional further steps to ensure your new lamp works as though you'd bought it locally. The cost to convert one lamp for use in the US or Canada is £20/$25, which can be added to the listing price prior to purchase. This fee includes the following work:

- The removal of the EU/UK E27/ES brass lamp holder and replacing it with that of a brass US UL-certified E26 version. If the lamp features a smaller EU/UK E14 lamp holder, I will provide a small brass E14 to E12 adapter, enabling the use of US E12/Candelabra bulbs.
- The addition of a harp saddle to facilitate the addition of a harp and subsequently a lampshade.
- The stripping out of existing cabling and rewiring the lamp with white, UL-certified 2-core cable with a moulded 2-prong US plug and inline on/off switch.

The lamp will then undergo another PAT test.
