Gold Fabric Covered Lamp Wire, twin

Rayon Covered Lamp Cord

Gold Fabric Covered Lamp Wire is an an excellent choice for vintage lamp restoration and mid century lighting. This historic type was traditionally used on lamps during the early 20th century.  Authentic appearance and vintage gold cover make this wire ideal for lamp restorations.

This lamp wire is for lamps and low-temperature, low-wattage applications. It is not-intended for appliances. Plastic insulation covers each of the two stranded wires, which are then sheathed in a fine, tight braided rayon fabric covering. Manufactured with strict safety procedures however it is not U.L. listed.   

Install 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.
