FOR SALE: £70
This huge table lamp was another Spanish import. The top of the lamp holder is 62cm above the bottom of the base. It has been completely rewired and a new safe BC lamp holder fitted.
It would suit a large alcove and a substantial shade and is a most impressive lamp.
All my lamps come with a FREE test certificate confirming successful functional, mechanical integrity and PAT testing (above HSE guidance).
Ready for collection from Upper Deal or FREE delivery in the Deal area, cash or card most welcome.

FOR SALE: £70 the pair
This pair of delightful candlestick style table lamps are made of brass and some kind of stone. I have replaced one of the lamp holders and they have both passed all my tests.
It would be a shame to split them up so I have prices for the pair.

FOR SALE: £70 the pair
This pair of resin lamps came from Spain. They have new lamp holders and are fully tested and working safely.
They are quite charming and would look beautiful with large LED globe bulbs, perhaps each side of a mantle piece.
I don’t want to split them as it would be a shame.

FOR SALE: £40
This beautiful lamp in the style of Lladro (NB it’s not actually Lladro) was bought my me in Spain this summer. After replacing the lamp holder, cable and mains plug it has passed all my tests.
The glaze has some surface cracking as is common with this type of material but the lamp is structurally sound and looks stunning.
This really is a bargain!

Sadly gazebos are prohibited 😳
Hope people still support this amazing event, even if there are a few showers. It’s tomorrow, by the way.

Some of the lamps set out as they will be on the stall for the Deal Braderie on Sunday. (For the geeks: I’m using a 12V battery supply for safety.)
Now, where did I put that gazebo and my wet weather gear?

This is one of a pair of Scandi-style double standard lamps which I was lucky enough to be asked to repair.
The spindles and base are mahogany and the top section brass. Beautifully made. One brass part was bent from the lamp having fallen at some time but I was able to straighten this (so effectively that I couldn’t tell which one it was afterwards).
I replaced the internal wiring in the top section, adding an earth conductor for safety. The old Bakelite E27 lamp holders were replaced with brass earthed B22 units and new antique style braided flex installed, terminated in smart new black BS1363 plugs.
The Customer is delighted and has already recommended me to others.
Why not reach out so we can discuss how I can breathe new light into your lamp?

SOLD: Just £75
Just look at this gorgeous table lamp! It’s reminiscent of the classic Tiffany-style lamps and I adore it. Did you notice the base glows too? It also has an inline dimmer. You will add your own choice of E27 base LED bulb but please make sure it’s dimmable.
I imported this from the continent and have had to completely modify the internal wiring to make it compliant with modern regulations.
I can’t hold onto it until the Deal Braderie (where I have booked a stall) because I really need the space.
PAT tested beyond IET requirements and ready for collection from Upper Deal. I’ll happily deliver to the surrounding area for free.
You won’t see another one like this for a long time…
