Vintage Industrial Anglepoise Trolley Floor Lamp C1960's

An unusual and highly versatile vintage industrial Anglepoise-style floor lamp, dating from the mid-20th century, combining the functionality of an adjustable task light with the mobility of a wheeled trolley base. Other measurements: H92cm x W60cm, adjustable arm to 140cm and base 52cm x 52cm Constructed in painted metal, the lamp features a distinctive white conical shade with contrasting black cylindrical housing, supported by a fully articulated, spring-balanced arm with exposed metal pivot joints. The adjustable arm allows the light to be directed into a variety of positions, while the slender upright column rises from a four-point cruciform base fitted with castors, allowing the lamp to be moved effortlessly around a room. Originally conceived as practical task lighting, possibly for use in a workshop, studio, medical or commercial environment, the lamp has a wonderfully functional industrial aesthetic characteristic of mid-century design. Retaining its white painted finish, with contrasting black detailing and attractive signs of age and use, the lamp possesses an appealing utilitarian character. An excellent piece of vintage lighting, equally suited to a contemporary interior, artist’s studio, library or beside a comfortable reading chair. Its unusual trolley construction makes it a particularly interesting alternative to the more commonly encountered desk-mounted Anglepoise lamps. Condition: Vintage condition with age-related wear to the painted surfaces and metal fittings, consistent with its age and use. Generally very good for age This piece is currently in London gallery
