Antique Oak Bobbin Lamp Base - Slim

This piece was created by repurposing part of an antique table, originally sourced for restoration. While the table itself couldn’t be saved, the turnings were exceptionally pleasing so we salvaged and reworked them. The base was turned in-house with period oak and shaped to suit the scale and detail of the original component. Fitted with aged brass fittings and rewired with braided cable.

Lamp shade not included.

This piece has been fully PAT tested.

UK deliveries:

We offer White Glove delivery as standard for larger pieces within England, Wales, and Scotland (excluding Northern Ireland), carried out by Empire Delivery. Once your order is placed, please allow 5 to 7 days for us to prepare and arrange collection from our workshop. After collection, delivery is typically arranged within a further 5 to 7 days.

Smaller items, such as mirrors and trays, are sent by courier and are usually delivered the next working day after collection. Free warehouse collection is also available by appointment.

International deliveries:

Smaller pieces are shipped with DHL under Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) terms, meaning all import taxes are prepaid and nothing is due on arrival. Larger items are securely crated using high-density foam, bubble wrap, and OSB crates to ensure safe transit. International shipments typically take 5 to 15 days from dispatch to arrive.

Shipping costs are calculated and displayed at checkout based on the size, weight, and delivery address.

For US customers:

All US orders are shipped under Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) terms, which means import taxes and duties including the latest tariffs are included in the total at checkout. However, due to ongoing uncertainty around tariff rates, if there is a significant increase between the time your order is placed and the time it is dispatched, we may need to settle the difference before shipment. In such cases, we will either issue a corrective invoice or revert to Delivered at Place (DAP) and refund any duties already paid. If you have any questions about customs charges or how DDP works, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to assist.

We take great pride in the craftsmanship of every piece we create and offer a lifetime warranty on the structural integrity and functionality of all our work, covering frame stability, joinery, and overall construction. This warranty does not cover wear and tear, accidental damage, or issues caused by improper care or use.

We also offer a lifetime buyback guarantee. If you ever wish to part with your piece, we would be pleased to buy it back, restore it, and return it to circulation, ensuring it continues its life as part of a thoughtful and sustainable cycle.

Returns:

If you would like to return an item, please contact us within 30 days of delivery. Returned items must be unused, in their original condition, and in their original packaging. Pieces made to custom dimensions are non-returnable, unless faulty. Standard pieces remain eligible for return under our 30-day policy.

If something is not quite right, we will always offer to repair or resolve the issue first, as we want every piece to be loved and enjoyed for many years. If a repair is not possible, we will arrange collection at no cost to you. For standard returns, return shipping is the customer’s responsibility; however, if you would like us to assist with collection, we are happy to help by arranging this for you where possible and deducting the cost from your refund. We recommend using a tracked and insured service if you are returning a piece independently, to ensure it arrives back with us safely. Refunds are calculated and processed within 5–7 days of inspection.

This piece has been created by re-appropriating parts of an antique table that we salvaged. While most of the original structure couldn’t be kept, we were able to preserve the bobbin turning and rework it into a lamp, turning the base from the same oak to suit its scale. There are some light traces of previous woodworm, which have been fully treated, filled, and carefully colour-matched. Now barely visible in the final piece, but retained as part of its history and surface character.
