THIS IS NOW SOLD Original Vintage Herbert Terry Anglepoise Table Lamp

THIS IS NOW SOLD Originally designed by George Carwardine in 1932 and manufactured by Herbert Terry and Sons, this Model 1227 Anglepoise was probably manufactured some time around the end of the 1950's (indicated by the "rolled edge" of the shade which was eliminated in later models). This one features the original cloth wiring, springs and paint. Someone in the past has converted the plug and bulb socket from the original European versions to North American versions. This is a classic! Speaking of classics i was watching Michelangelo Antonioni 's 1966 classic movie Blow Up last night, and i noticed the Anglepoise used in several places in the film. Just sayin..
