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. Each wire is a stranded copper insulated wire (much like standard wiring of today) covered together side by side in a braided cotton fabric. The fabric is soft and vibrant, similar to old industrial age cloth covered wiring.

Great service and product

I ordered two feet of this wire for use in a vintage intercom system in my new apartment in NYC. The product is of great value, but more than this, Paul was a help in trying to figure out what wire would be a good replacement. I cannot comment on whether the wire actually worked, as my purchase was purely decorative. However, based on what I’ve seen, I have no doubt it would.

Just like the original!

I bought some of this wire recently for rewiring my 1920 Emerson Oscillating fan and it looks just like the original would have, especially with the very similar looking plug offered here too! I will most likely be buying the green wire I need to do a GE restoration from here too!
