Shades at Grays

What can I say …. This stunning lamp by my clever husband has sold in less than 24 hours.

If he can find more eroded wood like this he can make more - but there’s the challenge.

🪵 A piece of New Zealand history, reimagined.

Meet our latest heritage lamp — handcrafted by JB from a rare, naturally eroded jarrah telegraph pole. Once part of NZ's communication network, this ancient timber has been given a stunning second life.

The natural erosion has created a breathtaking organic cavity at the heart of the cross-section, perfectly framing a warm LED vintage decorative globe. No two telegraph poles erode the same way — which means this lamp is completely one of a kind.

The last heritage lamp JB made sold within hours. This one won't be around long either.
