Jon Nix — Sun, 12 Feb 2023 17:48:48 +0000

Immediately recognisable as an icon of modern design, this is the Anglepoise Model 1227. This particular Angelpoise 1227 is cream with rolled rim to the shade and a two step base which dates it to the late 1930s.

In very good and, more importantly, original condition with "Crabtree" bulb holder still in place.
An earthing terminal has been fitted to this lamp near the connection of the shade.
Not PAT tested, and, as with all electrical items requires inspection and testing in the environment in which it is intended to be used.

Due to the heavy but also fragile nature of this item collection is preferred, though we will, of course, be happy to discuss working with your courier of choice to get the lamp to you safe and sound. Please get in touch with us.

Vintage Art Deco Bakelite Lamp Stand

An original and very appealing candlestick-style table lamp stand with Art Deco influences and probably dating from the 1930s. Made from Bakelite which is in excellent condition considering its age, the lamp stand features a stepped circular base with push button switch, and a waisted central column. The top and base have a matching edge design which add subtle elegance.

The lamp stand measures approximately 23cm (9 in.) high (including the bulb holder) and the base has a diameter of 12.5cm (5 in.). Please note: the glass shade pictured is of a later design and is for display only. Should you wish to pair it with the lamp stand, and buy both, please get in touch. This items has not been electrically tested, so please be aware that it requires attention and inspection before use. There is a slight wobble to the top of the lamp stand where the bulb holder fits, but this should be an easy fix and doesn't affect the lamp in normal use.

Set of “Minibrix” – All-Rubber Construction Toy by Premo c. 1935-40s

A set of "Minibrix" which were an all-rubber construction toy dating from the mid 1930s, made by the Premo Rubber Company. The building system pre-dates Lego but enshrined some of the principles of the latter, whilst being made of rubber rather than plastic. The interlocking technique of the blocks - moulded rubber recesses and matching nodes - is accompanied by roofs which are a single hinged piece of rubber. Sloping pieces allow for the fixing of these latter items.

This is a fairly comprehensive set, but it is not known if it is complete. What is included is a good selection of over a hundred bricks in good condition, with a few having damage to their rubber but still usable, two roofs, an illustrated "instruction manual" (/catalogue) and the original box. The box itself is quite dull in colour and has some surface losses but is reasonable considering it's likely to be over 80 years old.

A French paint price list and accompanying letter dated January 1939 which, on the reverse side, features a very attractive and frame-able black and white illustration of various paint pots from the manufacture Ripolin. The illustration measures approximately 26cm (10½ in.) by 23cm (9 in.) with the letter on the reverse and folds out to reveal the price list/catalogue on the inside.

The paper is yellowed with some minor creasing, but is in good condition considering it is over 80 years old.
