Off-white L-11 Desk Lamp by Jac Jacobsen for Luxo, 1950s-60s

Imported by Thousand And One Lamps with their sticker still on the underside of the base, this is the Norwegian-made Luxo L-11 desk or wall lamp which was designed by Jac Jacobsen in the late 1950s. It's one of the most distinctive lamps from the time and could be argued to be a design classic. It's main features are the oversized power button on the circular base, a fixed arm which has a thicker lower section, in a dark grey colour, and a diminutive and elegantly shaped shade which is freely adjustable.

This one is in an off-white colour, a very light grey with a hint of mushroom and it's a good example. There is some minor wear to the shade and some minor losses to the arm, but otherwise it's in good condition and working. The lamp can be used both on a desk or table top or wall mounted, with the latter bringing that large button and fixed arm into their own.

The lamp has a base with a diameter of approximately 14cm and a depth of 4cm whilst the lamp itself has a total height of approximately 33cm (with the shade positioned parallel to the lower part of the arm). The lampbolder takes a standard bayonet style bulb.

Vintage Cream Anglepoise Model 90 Desk Lamp by Herbert Terry & Sons

This Model 90 Anglepoise - dating from the early 1970s - is in one of the more common colours, but it's no less appealing for that. It'll fit in almost any decor and as with any Anglepoise, it'll just work and do it with elegance and style. It just looks the part - as every Anglepoise does, regardless of how or where they are used.

This one is in good condition overall with only minimal signs of age and wear, aside from a patch on the base which for us wouldn't be a deal-breaker and a little bit of rust on the chrome bar which holds the springs. The shade is in good shape bar some minor dents to the underside and there's very little surface loss to speak of anywhere else. The switch feels solid to the touch and there's a good length of cabling. As always, please have the lamp safety tested and inspected prior to use in your own environment. It's fully functioning but sold on the basis of it being tested in situ.

A particular favourite at Anything In Particular, the Pifco Model 971 gooseneck desk lamp is a design classic in many ways. This one is a neutral cream colour, perfect for a mid-century modern interior or indeed for a contemporary one. The lamp is fully adjustable with a sturdy and heavy base, features a characteristic cone-shaped shade and can be wall mounted via the slots on the base. A good quality, distinctive desk lamp.

This one is in good condition with just the odd minor scuff or scrape to the shade and some minor rusting/discolouration around the switch, but very few dents or dings otherwise. The base measures approximately 13cm wide and 11cm deep, with the shade being approximately 16cm long with a 10cm diameter at the front. With the neck extended to its full height, the lamp measures approximately 43cm. The wiring has been checked and a new switch added, but it is recommended that buyers inspect and safety test (PAT in the UK) electrical items before use.
