RARE BRITISH 1950S VINTAGE FLOOR LAMP. Designed in Covent Garden, London at the Strand headquarters in the 1950s.
We were very lucky to acquire a few of these lights directly from the Palace Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, London. They were used for many years, lighting up famous performances including: The Sound Of Music, Cabaret and Les Miserables. The light has been superbly engineered and features a ventilated die-cast body, 360 degree rotation, Internal reflectors and Iconic design. This Lamp features a rare extended lense tube, featuring a large 6 Convex Lens.
