Brown Fabric Covered Lamp Wire was used on many portable lamps of the 20th century. It looks like the original, mid century cloth covered lamp cord. Fine quality and authentic style make it an excellent choice for vintage lamp restoration and mid century lighting.

This rayon fabric covered lamp cord is manufactured with strict safety procedures. It is for lamps and/or low temperature - low wattage applications. It is not-intended for appliances.

Install Fabric Covered Lamp Wire

  • Strip cloth covering approximately 2", exposing the 2 plastic covered wires.
  • Strip approximately 3/8" of plastic covering off wire
  • A UL knot is ideal however due to the rayon covering a simple overhand knot, tied at both socket and plug ends, protects cord from being pulled loose and stops fabric from fraying.
  • Black wire connects to brass screw, white wire to nickel screw

Before making any changes to electrical fixtures and/or lamps:

  • Disconnect plug/wire from the electrical source.
  • Turning lamp off will not protect you from electric shock.
  • If you are unsure how to safely proceed contact a licensed electrician.
