Vintage Gooseneck Desk Lamp in Gold with Perforated Shade

Jon Nix — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 15:15:40 +0000

An unusual gooseneck desk lamp finished in a pale gold tone with brass fixtures, which has a distinctively-shaped base and perforated shade. Most likely dating from the 1950s - although the maker is unknown, its origins are probably Continental Europe, based on the styling.
It's in good condition overall with some minor signs of both age and wear, but nothing which detracts - quite the opposite in many ways. We've added a subtle soft neoprene pad to the underside of the base, to protect surfaces when in use, but it's otherwise untampered with.

The lamp measures approximately 40 cm ( 16 in.) high with the neck fully extended. The base measures approximately 14cm (5½ in.) long, with a maximum width of 12.5cm (5 in.), and a height of 1.5cm (1 in.)

Herbert Terry Cream and Gold Scumble Finish Two Step 1227 Anglepoise Desk Lamp

Jon Nix — Sun, 12 Feb 2023 17:47:26 +0000

Immediately recognisable as an icon of modern design, this is the Anglepoise Model 1227. More specifically, this is a scumble finish Angelpoise 1227 with a two step base which dates from the 1940s. The scumble finish was applied using a rolled factory rag and it creates a marbled gold and cream effect on this particular lamp.

In very good and, more importantly, original condition with "Crabtree" bulb holder still in place.
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 1950s Maclamp in gold with wooden arms designed by Terence Conran for Habitat

Jon Nix — Wed, 09 Nov 2022 16:43:03 +0000

A design classic, this is the Maclamp designed by Terence Conran for Habitat. This is the earlier version of the lamp with full wood armatures (not plastic ones as per later models) and wingnut adjusters and dates from the 1950s. This particular one has original gold painted metal shade and base and is in almost untampered condition.

The wood arms have been gently oiled to bring out their original colour. One of the lower arms has what appears to be a burn mark on it, but barring that, they are in good solid condition as are the wingnuts and metal fixtures. The metal shade bracket is slightly misshapened, but the shade itself has kept its shape and only has a few minor grazes to show for it's 60+ years of age and use, and the base is in similar condition. The bulb holder has been replaced like-for-like.

A good example of an iconic lamp and increasingly difficult to find in original condition. As with all electrical products, buyers are urged to have the lamp inspected and safety-checked prior to installation.

Small Gold Coloured Vintage Articulated Desk Lamp

Jon Nix — Fri, 08 Jul 2022 12:31:48 +0000

An unusual and diminutive vintage desk lamp in gold finish with chromed fittings. The most notable features of this lamp are the Anglepoise-style shade design (basically the shade looks very much like a smaller version of the 1227 Anglepoise shade), the curved armatures which are connected to each other and to the shade fitting by no less than four ball and socket joints, and the large ball and socket joint which attaches the arm to the base, allowing for more positioning freedom. It all makes for flexibility of adjustment in a very small package. A white push button to the base switches the lamp on and off.

There are signs of age and wear throughout, but the overall condition is very good. Expect some surface losses to the chrome and some minor scrapes and dings to it, however.

The lamp measures approximately 46cm (18 in.) in height at its fullest extent, with a base diameter of 13cm (5 in.) and a base height of 2cm (¾ in.). The wiring has been renewed, but as with all electrical items an inspection and safety test (PAT in the UK) is recommended. The lamp currently has a complementary gold-coloured cable the length of which is approximately 150cm (59 in.)

Large Vintage Metal Record Shop Sign “Classics for Pleasure 84p” (EMI Classical)

Jon Nix — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 22:59:44 +0000

Judging by the font and the price (!), this sign from a record shop probably dates from the mid- to late-1970s. It's a metal item which has holes for hanging either vertically or horizontally and it proudly proclaims that for 84p you can have "Classics For Pleasure" and not in mono, oh no - the sign indicates "stereo"! The former presumably a reference to classical music records or cassettes from the EMI label of the same name. At some point, the price was different as the section where the "84p" is displayed is in fact a sticker on top of the metal sign.

The sign has wear and tear and some surface loss, most evident in the word "classics" but it looks great on a wall and is a certain conversation starter. It measures approximately 68cm x 28 cm (26¾ in x 11 in.). Any reasonable offers considered for this item.

Copal Model 702 Flip Alarm Clock in Pale Gold Aluminium

Jon Nix — Wed, 18 Nov 2020 13:07:21 +0000

A rather chic and glamorous-looking Copal model 702 flip clock with pale gold coloured aluminium body and plastic sides. The clock has a slightly retro-looking black on white numeral display and a green light to indicate the activation of the alarm which illuminates the rolling alarm time display. That in itself is an unusual feature of this particular model. Cosmetically, this one is a good example of the model and it works flawlessly - the digits flip easily, the motor runs smoothly, and the alarm functions as it should.

The clock measures approximately 18cm (7 in.) wide, with a height of 8.5cm (3½ in.) and a depth of 11cm (4½ in.) and runs off a 50Hz AC power supply in the range of 180-260V and it is currently fitted with a standard UK three-pin plug.

Pair of Vintage German Striped Brown Jasba Vases Pattern 108/22

Jon Nix — Wed, 07 Oct 2020 19:49:12 +0000

An unusual opportunity to purchase a pair of matching form 108/22 Jasba Keramik matching vases. These German-made vases feature a glossy brown (almost maroon) glaze with a multi-coloured pattern of stripes in various tones of pink, green, orange, yellow and white. It would appear to be a variation on the "Bamberg" pattern. The vases, with their gold rims and bases, have more than a slightly "glam" look to them and date back to the late 1950s. The price is for the pair, but consideration will be given to splitting them.

In good condition with no chips or cracks. There is wear to the gold rims but this is not immediately obvious given the glossy nature of the finish overall. The vases are 22cm (9 in.)in height with a rim diameter of 7cm (2¾ in.), a maximum diameter of 10cm (4 in.), and base diameter of 7cm (2¾ in.).

Sheerlite Cascade Fibre Optic Lamp from the 1970s

Jon Nix — Thu, 20 Aug 2020 10:05:29 +0000

A slice, or rather tube, of glorious kitsch-ness from the 1970s, this is the Sheerlite "Cascade" lamp which is a twist on the fibre-optic lamps of the time. With its semi-transparent (smoked-ish) main tube and gold base, the "Cascade" lamp gives off a general glow from its body whilst the white fibre optics then cascade out from the top and provide the extra interest. There's no colour changing or other gimmickery to the lamp - but it's a great little lamp for those wanting a more subtle fibre optic light than is generally the norm. It's certainly kitsch to modern eyes, but it's certainly on the sophisticated, glamourous side of it!

In good condition with only minor signs of wear and tear to the body and some discolouration to the inner tube. One or two slightly deformed optics are the only other things of note. The lamp is fully functioning.
