A Brief History of Traditional Twisted Cable Sets
Twisted fabric cable originated in the early 20th century, when electrical lighting began replacing gas and oil lamps in homes across the UK. These early cables were typically insulated with rubber and wrapped in braided cotton or silk for protection and flexibility. The distinctive twisted design wasn’t just decorative — it helped prevent tangling and made installation easier.
As domestic electrics evolved, so too did the materials, but the charm of the original twisted fabric cable remained popular in period properties and restoration projects. Today, traditional-style cable sets continue to evoke the elegance of Edwardian and early industrial interiors, offering modern safety standards with a beautifully authentic look.
