FAQs

Originating in 17th-century woodturning techniques, the open twist features hollowed double spiral columns carved from a single piece of wood, which gained renewed popularity in late Victorian and Edwardian decorative table lamps.

These lamp bases were traditionally turned from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or oak, completed with solid brass bulb sockets and circular weighted bases for stability.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-finished spiral symmetry, natural wood grain variation visible inside the open twists, aged surface patination on the timber, and vintage brass lamp fitments.

Pair the carved wooden base with a neutral linen or contemporary pleated fabric shade to create visual contrast, positioning it on a modern console table or desk.

Dust the carved spiral recesses with a soft dry brush and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically to preserve the timber finish, ensuring electrical wiring is tested by a professional.
