This one is in an untampered-with condition which is our preference. The signs of wear are all part of the lamp's credentials and history, and we'd much rather see a dented original shade than a pristine modern replacement. These things are built to last however, so structurally and functionally this one is sound - the lamp holds position and works extremely well throughout its range. The heavy base has signs of use and age but is clean and there are no breakages anywhere. What is new, however, is the wiring and the bulb holder and the adjustment screw at the elbow. We've gone for a very simple combination of black braided three-core cable (earthed to the earthing screw at the base) and a standard lamp bulb holder. Less is more sometimes. The adjustment screw is more or less cosmetic but it does help maintain that perfect balance should you use a heavier or lighter bulb.

Please get in touch with us to discuss postage and courier options. This is a heavy and large item at the same time as being a fragile one, so we would prefer you to collect or arrange a reliable courier to collect for you.

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.

We have temporarily mounted this one on a wooden base - partly for testing purposes -  but the lamp can be removed from this via screws and re-mounted on the base of your choice.  All joints are sound and their stiffness can be adjusted via the side screws. Although the lamp is wired, as with all electrical items we would recommend testing and re-fitting by the buyer. It should be noted that the length of cable on this lamp is rather restricted, so an inline-switch and re-wiring to a plug might be preferable for the buyer to consider.

The lamp extends to approximatelty 1m (30 in.) and is fully adjustable - the base and shade rotate and there are three independent joints for full flexibility.
