The original cabling has been replaced with a generous length (3m) of suitable braided neutral-coloured alternative and the lamp has been tested as working. It has an unusual rotating switch for turning the light on and off. There is wear throughout but both the metal shade and the wood handle have been sensitively restored to retain the character of the lamp.

The lamp has an oveall length of 30cm (12 in.|), the shade rim has a diameter of 19cm (7½ in.) and a depth of 18cm (7 in.), whilst the handle is approximately 17cm (6¾ in.) in length.

This is an ex-London Transport Aluminium Garage Running Number Plate.  It's obviously in well-used condition, but that's all part of its appeal.  It has dents, scrapes, scratches and deformations consistent with being what it is and having done what it was intended for. We aren't going to shy away from that.

Ours is slotted into a wooden base painted in a matt graphite colour (Rustoleum Graphite if you really must know). This allows it to stand, but this can be easily removed if you wish.  The plate measures approximately 19cm by 9.5cm including the base (7½in by 3¾in).
