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 rayon fabric. The fabric is smooth and shiny, similar to old industrial age silk covered wiring.

Nice product; prompt delivery.

I had to rewire 2 old hanging lamps and couldn't find any cloth covered wire. I ordered from Snake Head Vintage. The had a good selection, easy to use website, and on time delivery. I got exactly what I thought I was getting. I have since finished the wiring projects and the lamps look very cool.

Antique Lamp Repairs

Posted by Unknown on Sep 17th 2020

My wife buys and sell antiques, and found some really nice antique floor lamps that I needed to rewire. This cloth-covered wire was the perfect match for the two lamps. Two recommendations: buy a couple extra feet so you can be sure the cord is long enough to go from the lamp Lo to the outlet; and burn the cloth before you cut it so the cloth doesn’t unravel at the cut. Perfect solution!
