Following our CD490 pendants, we became inspired with creating another unique piece that would feature an insulator.

Having collected a small number of CD423 insulators, we decided to use these smaller insulators, also manufactured by AGM in the 1950s.

The concept and story behind this lamp are reminiscent of water running from the tap and the significance of this precious substance in the support of life.

The lamp features several design elements including Brass, Wood, and the rustic feel of oxidised metal, and is finished with our signature burgundy cloth-covered wire and inline switch.

The build for this lamp commenced with a piece of reclaimed hardwood timber, which was brushed and then sanded to reveal the beautiful colour and grain. The Timber was stained and sanded to give add depth and tone. The timber was given a final coat of beeswax.

A brass plate was made to secure the brass cable retainer and the assembly recessed into the timber.

A BC15 lamp holder was required to be able to fit inside the insulator and a small oven pilot globe used for its size, which also has the advantage of the globe sitting within the insulator.

The Electrical wire was run inside an additional electrical fibreglass sleeve for added protection.

Finally, the lamp assembled and first lit on 17th May 2017.
