Rewired","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a fabulous original Herbert Terry Anglepoise Desk or Office Lamp. It dates to the 1950s and is in fine vintage condition.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is in its original glossy black paintwork, as issued. It also has its original bulb holder with on-off finger switch. The shade is in good condition with no dents or nasty scratches but does have a few little flecks of paint loss touched up. These are very minor restorations and not visible when the lamp is on display; only with close-up inspection.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe springs are in fabulous condition; all lovely silver-toned with no rust or discolouration. The lamp is fully poseable and keeps in position with no slumping. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is square and a twin-stepped one. The Herbert Terry logo and patented details are on the base of the arm, as photographed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have taken lots of images for your inspection. The original wiring was very short in length, so we have had is re-wired in a like-for-like cable. The original cable was a fine black plastic one and we replaced it with a similar one to keep authentic to the original design. It now has well over 3 metres of cable which will allow you to postition the lamp far away from a wall socket. The on and off switch is on the bulb-holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is the previous owner's name inscribed on the foot - R. Armstrong and the date 1954. This helps date my lamp. I have not retouched this area but left it visible as part of its history. It is not readily visible when the lamp is on display and indeed I did not even notice it at first. It is much exaggerated in my photograph of it. The anglepoise has been priced to take this into account.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI think that my lamp has been packed away for many years and hardly every used - given that is is a pretty good condition (apart from a couple of restored paint losses on the shade). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease have a look at all the images to re-assure yourself of its condition. These probably give a better idea of the lamp than a long description from me. But all details photographed are original to the lamp - even the green felt on the base!  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40370997198912,"sku":"Sold for £175","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1950s-type-1227-black-anglepoise-lamp-by-herbert-terry-sons-redditch-rewired-437.webp?v=1788510907","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1950s-type-1227-black-anglepoise-lamp-by-herbert-terry-sons-redditch-rewired","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
