The Anglesea
The Anglesea table lamp is handcrafted from original timber reclaimed from the Anglesea Stand at the Royal Dublin Society in Dublin, a place steeped in Irish cultural and sporting heritage.
Founded in 1731, the Royal Dublin Socity (RDS) has been home to the Dublin Horse Show since 1864 and, more recently, the home ground of Leinster Rugby.
The solid timber base is left largely untouched, retaining its natural grain, markings, and patina earned through decades of use. You'll notice variations in the grain as well as nails and other remants from its time as a beam holding up the roof of the Anglesea stand.
As ever, the lamp holder is gently aged brass, finished by hand, a twisted fabric cord and an oversized amber bulb which we have designed as a nod to a rugby ball, in keeping with the Anglesea stand.
Due to the natural materials and handmade nature of these lamps, each is unique and the colour, grain and finish of the wood will vary from lamp to lamp.
All our lamps are made by hand in our studio in Rathnew, Co. Wicklow using time honoured skills and the finest materials.
All our bulbs are long-life LED and have an expected lifespan of 30,000 hours/10 years approx. Replacement bulbs can be ordered from us or you will find similar bulbs in retail stores.
