Himalayan Honey Pot Lamps

When you see your Himalayan Honey Pot Lamp for the first time, you won't be able to resist caressing it.

There's something so alluring and tactile about the antique patina, the subtle irregularities in the surface and the almost leather-like softness of the wood - they're just irresistible!

Each lamp started out as an individually turned and then hollowed out pot, jar or storage container, used by villagers in the Kashmir region of the Himalayas, to store honey, spices, rice and other dried foods.

Some of the pots are over a hundred years old and others only thirty or so - increasingly, stainless steel storage jars are replacing the traditional wooden pots in the region's villages.

The pots are made from a range of local woods including sheesham, mango and teak but when asked, most locals simply call the wood "junglewood"!

Once imported into the UK, the pots are carefully converted into table lamps which comply fully with all UK and European wiring regulations.

Please note: Each lamp is unique and priced individually
