The perfect addition to any lamp or small appliance such as fans and radios, this beautiful fabric covered electrical wire is a great way to replicate that vintage industrial age charm.

This is BRAND NEW reproduction antique style 2-wire, 18 gauge (known as 18/2) flat parallel wire. There are two stranded copper insulated wires bound together side by side (much like common lamp wire of today) then covered in a braided nylon fabric. The fabric is smooth and shiny, similar to old industrial age silk covered wiring.

An added design element for lights

Posted by Unknown on Oct 2nd 2018

This cord added a nice design element to my lamp sculpture ordinary wire would not have achieved. Rather than a distraction the cord became part of the design. This seemed to be a high quality covering based on the difficulty in cutting through it which is just what I needed, something that would be durable and last the lifetime of the floor lamp.
