Oak Lamp Base - Medium
The lamp base is designed to recall milk churns from the 40s and 50s having a gently tapering profile with a cap at the top and a shadow gap at the bottom to allow the flex to leave quietly. The lamp base has a base diameter of 180mm narrowing to a top diameter of 165mm over a height of 300mm between base and shoulder. The cap is 18mm tall and the rise between the shoulder and the cap base is also 18mm, giving a total height of the base of 330mm before the shade holder is added. The base is available either in a burned or a raw finish. The burned finish is sealed with a beeswax/oil mix while the raw finish is sanded to 600 grit for a sheer, ultra-smooth finish. Please state at checkout your choice of finish. Each lamp base is turned to the design template from an air dried Oak beams, drilled through the core of the lamp to create a wiring channel, burned with a plumbers blowtorch at 1600 degrees C, sealed with a beeswax/mineral oil mix, wired with 2 metres of anthracite grey linen covered cable with an in-line switch, and finally PAT tested, packaged and despatched. Please note that lamp bases are made to order and have a 14 day lead time. Also, due to the weight of the base an additional charge of £20 is made for postage and packaging.
