RARE BRITISH 1950S VINTAGE FLOOR LAMP
Designed in Covent Garden, London at the Strand headquarters in the 1950s.
We were very lucky to acquire a few of these lights directly from the Palace Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, London.
They were used for many years, lighting up famous performances including The Sound Of Music, Cabaret, and Les Miserables.
The light has been superbly engineered and features a ventilated die-cast body, 360-degree rotation, Internal reflectors, and Iconic design.
This Lamp features an extended lens tube, featuring a large 6" Convex Lens.
The spotlight has been professionally polished to a bright mirror finish by a specialist British company.
We take pride in the finished result as the light represents a unique and rare piece of design history.
Theatre light dimensions:
Length 33cms, Width 21cms, Height 21cms
The Light gives a wide beam spread for feature / architectural lighting and showing specific objects such as a work of art.
The Light is presented on a handmade classic wooden tripod.
The tripod features height-adjustable legs with rich detailed fittings.
The height range is adjustable from 75cm to 170cm and is ideal for all floor types.
The light has been professionally re-wired with 3 core quality silk braided vintage style lighting flex and fitted with a high-quality CE approved inline foot dimmer switch.
The dimmer switch allows for the light to be turned on or off with the press of a button, or to change the brightness from a warm glow to a bright spotlight with the sliding control.
The dimmer also features a night location neon indicator.
The light has been converted for home or office use and takes regular household light bulbs up to 100 watts, we also had a deluxe vintage style Bakelite plug fitted (BS1363/A).
This light has been fully pat tested by a certified tester for electrical safety and meets the current British safety requirements.
The light is a rare and original British Industrial design classic.
The light looks great in modern or period homes or for the finishing touch in an executive office.
This is an iconic statement piece that will appreciate in value over time.
