AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of articulated industrial lamps made by Herbert Terry & Sons in 1934 with marbleized finishes, model 1227. Slight signs of wear, overall in excellent condition.

The lighting for Anglepoise arrived in 1931. Engineer George Carwardine was experimenting with the idea of constant tension, springs perpetually stretched that allowed flexibility and balance, when he thought to combine these springs with task lighting. In 1933 Carwardine patented his idea, securing Anglepoise's role as a market leader. Considered too industrial for homes, Carwardine and the designers at Terry & Sons developed a three-spring version and this model became known as the Original 1227.

In excellent condition, considering the age, with springs and joints functioning perfectly, braided fabric cord and European plug, with the possibility of shipping the model suitable for the United Kingdom. The two lampholders are not identical.

** The dimensions and weight in the description are valid for each model and refer to the maximum height and reach, while the depth refers only to the base of the lamp **

*** Shipping costs include professional packaging that preserves the items during transport ***
