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 one is in good condition bar a dent to the head (see photos) and comes complete with original box and spare bulb. It works, remarkably, though it is suspected that it won't be of much genuine use. Rather,  it's an interesting curio or slightly left-field gift, most likely.  The box shows more signs of use and age, as should be expected.

The torch is powered by 2 x "C" size batteries, not included.
