This is a fabulous and much sought-after original Edwardian Art Nouveau Desk or Table Lamp.
It is one of two similar lamps that I have in my online store. This one is of a larger size. These are much sought after - and my asking price reflects this and the quality of each lamp.
This larger one was made by John Dugdill of Stockport, Manchester - and has their patent stamp on the base. It is an early design by the company that was considered to be a pioneer of industrial lighting.
My lamp dates to around 1910 and is a very substantial antique one made from solid brass with a very heavy cast base. The base has the two original round-headed machine screws that secure the weighted base. There is an impressed Dugdill's patent mark on the base, as photographed.
As you can see from all my photographs, this lamp is in excellent antique condition with no damages. It is nice and clean - with an attractive sheen to the brass. It comes complete with its original metal shade (chromed inside to reflect the light).
I love the flower joints on the lamp itself. There is dark grey felt on the base.
The base is circular with a stepped decoration with vertical petal shapes at the top - this picks up the floral detail on the lamp screws.
From the base issues the main arm section of the lamp. The main arm can be moved back and forward to a variety of different angles. The position is held in place by a matching pair of flower-head screws at the bottom.
At the top of the main arm is slightly smaller flower screws that allow you to position the short arm that holds the bulb holder. The bulb holder has been replaced to conform to modern safety standards - and has an earth point and on-off button toggle.
The lamp has been re-wired and earthed with 2 meters of black cloth three-core cable - so all ready for you to just use.
Dimensions: Fully extended upwards - the lamp measures from base to top bulb holder: 15 1/2 inches. From the base to the top of the shade is 21 1/2 inches. The diameter of the base is just under 5 3/4 inches.
It is a very substantial lamp and unpacked it is 4 kg in weight.
So as you can see this is a quality antique lamp, hard to find and in such fine condition. Listed at a very fair price.
