3 Core Double Insulated Silky Flex – Antique-Style Twisted Lighting Cable (Per Metre)
Traditional Aesthetic, Modern Safety – The Ideal Cable for Earthed Period Light Fittings
The 3 Core Double Insulated Silky Flex is the perfect choice for lighting projects where both classic style and up-to-date electrical safety are essential. Sold by the metre, this high-quality antique-style twisted fabric cable is specifically designed for use with earthed light fittings and appliances, providing not just a functional connection but also an authentic visual detail that complements period interiors.
Whether you’re restoring vintage lighting, creating a bespoke pendant, or wiring traditional lamps for use in a heritage property, this cable ensures your installation is both beautiful and compliant with modern standards.
This three-core twisted flex features live, neutral, and earth wires, making it suitable for any Class I (earthed) light fittings or fixtures that require grounding. It is a versatile and essential component for:
- Vintage and antique lighting restorations
- Traditional pendants and hanging lights
- Metal lamp fittings requiring earth protection
- Period-style table or floor lamps
- Exposed cable installations in character properties
Supplied by the metre, the cable can be cut to your preferred length for precision installations, making it ideal for one-off restorations or bespoke lighting design.
The cable features a twisted triple-core design, covered in a silky braided fabric that replicates the appearance of early 20th-century wiring. Its texture and sheen make it a natural choice for visible installations, especially where traditional materials and finishes are celebrated.
Available in a range of vintage-inspired colours, this fabric cable blends beautifully with natural timbers, painted finishes, and classic metal lamp holders. It adds a layer of visual depth and character that plain modern wiring simply cannot match.
Behind its vintage look, this cable is fully modern in performance. The double insulation offers enhanced protection, while the fabric outer braid provides flexibility and durability. It’s manufactured to high safety standards and is suitable for use with both new and restored fittings in domestic and commercial settings.
The added earth wire makes this cable suitable for fittings made from conductive materials (such as brass or steel), ensuring compliance with current wiring regulations and helping to maintain electrical safety throughout your property.
When attention to detail matters, the 3 Core Double Insulated Silky Flex becomes more than just a cable - it’s a design element in its own right. Whether used in a period hallway, a vintage-style kitchen, or a bespoke hotel interior, it contributes to a layered, thoughtfully finished environment that feels consistent, curated, and timeless.
Coordinate it with Bromleighs’ collection of lamp holders, ceiling roses, wall plates, and other heritage lighting accessories to create a fully integrated scheme that reflects both quality and style.
