The shade is not mishapened and there are no major dents or dings, and the chrome is in good condition considering the age of the item. The base has some minor scrapes and rusting - particularly to the bottom edges and near the switch - but nothing that undermines the good looks of the lamp and we don't feel that we would undertake to renovate these. What we have done, however, is re-wrire the lamp with an unobtrusive black flex which is carefully complemented by the colour of the switch housing, itself a replacement for the original which was beyond repair. The end result is a subtle reinvigoration.

The buyer may wish to renew the felt on the base (pictured). Post re-wiring we decided in the interests of originality and minimal intervention to reinstate the worn felt which is perfectly adequate in use but, depending on the buyer's preference, could be easily replaced with new felting (the moulded shape for the felt to be adhered to is present and serviceable).

Please note: this lamp will be shipped without a bulb, but it takes a standard bayonet fit.

The lamp is in good used condition bar some minor bubbling to the metal casing and the odd minimal scrape here and there. The adjusting screws and fixings are sound and the cabling and bulb holder are good. The original small plastic screw for the cable grip is missing, but this does not affect the operation of the lamp in any way - the cable is nonetheless securely gripped by a chromed washer.

In summary, a rather unusual lamp given a unique treatment - we can almost certainly guarantee that there isn't a desk anywhere else with a lamp like this on it.

The spotlight has a hand spun polished aluminium and chrome plated tubular steel base, stem, shade and bulb holder and distinctive encased switch holder. The height and angle of the shade and bulb holder are adjustable along the length of the stem.

Dimensions: Height of upright stem: 62cm. Length of shade and bulb holder: 20.5cm. Diameter of shade: 10cm. Diameter of base: 17.5 cm.

The light is in full working order and good condition with only minor blemishes to the aluminium consistent with a used 50 year old item. The switch has been renovated with a metric replacement part because the original Imperial part had become brittle and the switch housing fixings have been re-threaded to allow the housing to be adjusted as per its original design via an Allen Key (provided).

Due to the nature of this item, please contact us to discuss price and shipping or collection options.
