It is a chore to have the rewiring done but so necessary! About 17 years ago we replaced wiring and shades on inherited lamps and one uses a lot overseas with differnt voltage. It is time again. This time however, we are able to space them out so cost and inconvenience is manageable.

One still needs to be rewired, and the other came rewired when I purchased it. But it's a dark brown fabric covered cord I might change it to a white one (the dark cord stands out like a sore thumb against a light gray wall.) It's great to know how much it'll cost to update.

While functional, the old cord worried me and honestly, our old lamp needed some new hardware. I was so happy with the choice of new cords and plugs. The fabric covered cords are wonderful. I think a worthy investment. Giving new life to our old lamp will keep it, safely around, for a long time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-8037489135727831742014-03-05T02:45:38.609-05:002014-03-05T02:45:38.609-05:00How completely lovely and exciting that you recomm...How completely lovely and exciting that you recommend the "cloth-covered" cords for old lamps!!<br /><br />I have been a decorator for so many years it gives me a headache to count!
