With Rise and Fall Mechanism","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a most unusual late 1960s Italian Space Age Italian Pendant lampshade.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI am not completely sure if the pull-down mechanism is Italian in origin and the shade section is made in the Netherlands - as the Herda light company was quite well known for making similar designs with acrylic double shades.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI hope that you can see the construction of this light from my photographs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shade has an internal dark claret-red plastic shade - this is white on the interior - outside of the central section, there is a \"double\" outer skin - made of a rigid smoke-grey plastic forming a second shade on the outside. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a rise and fall light - and has its original tight curled flex, as photographed. It has a shaped chrome metal handle issuing from the bulb holder section. It takes a standard modern bayonet fitting light bulb. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a roller fitting (rather like a Rolly retractable pull-down fitment) - where it attaches to your ceiling rose - and this has details of the manufacture of the roller mechanism - which says that it was made in Milan, Italy. There is some old white paint (from a previous painting of the ceiling, I suspect) on the roller fitment. But nothing on the shade. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is an amazing pendant shade designed to hang from your ceiling - and it is very space-age in design (almost like a flying saucer). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is in good vintage condition - with no cracks or burn marks on the plastic. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNice large size. The main body section measures: 8 inches in height. The outer shade is 17 3\/4 inches in diameter. The inner shade is 12 1\/2 inches. The length of cable is adjustable. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNever seen another one quite like this. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will be sent to you with Parcelforce24. This will be insured in transit and applied to your order at the checkout. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55716889690491,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1960s-italian-european-space-age-double-layered-perspex-pendant-shade-with-rise-and-fall-mechanism-vintage-light-220.webp?v=1788508632","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1960s-italian-double-layered-perspex-pendant-shade-rise-and-fall-mechanism","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
