How do I choose the right height?

Consider where the lamp will sit and the proportion of the carved wooden base to the shade. Taller twist columns and urn lamps require space to command a room properly. Shorter candlesticks work well on side tables or bedside cabinets where lower illumination suits the scale of the furniture.

Are these lamps recently rewired?

Many antique lighting pieces arrive rewired for modern use while preserving their historic wooden bodies. It is standard practice to check electrical components upon acquisition. Consult a qualified electrician if you need specific PAT testing or bespoke wiring adjustments for your home setup.

How do I care for antique wood?

Dust the carved surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dirt build-up in the crevices. Avoid chemical polishes that can degrade original wax or gilt finishes. Keep wooden lamps away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight to prevent the timber from drying out or cracking.
