The Rabbitfoot Mussel is considered the ‘special’ relative of the Mussel fixture. It consists of a cast-iron connection box, combined with a porcelain E27 socket and a hand-blown glass dome, that creates an very special lighting effect. Originally the lamp is meant to be mounted to the ceiling, but it can be used as table lamp.
The fixture originates from a former spinning mill in East Germany. The textile factory had been operational for over 80 years under many different names. Eventually it had to close its doors due to the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989, and has been left deserted ever since. to recover more than forty pieces of these delicate lighting fixtures.
The Rabbitfoot Mussel comes with:
– decorative E27 bulb 60 watt
– 1,5 meter of burgundy textile cable
– a passport describing the history and origin of the lamp.
The fixture has been completely rewired to current standards, and is assembled and tested to EN 60598 directive of European Harmonized Legislation. US & Canadian, or other 110V wiring available on request.
