This is a nice old inspection lamp thats certainly seen life. We have given it a full restoration and a full rewire
The first job was to painstakingly remove all of the old paint. When we did this on the handle it revealed the nice grain of the wood. We gave the handle 3 coats of Fides antique oak way and a gentle polish. It looks great !!. We rebound the handle and added a fresh leather strap so the lamp can be hung.
All of the metalwork was sand blasted and then polished and clear coated. After polishing the cage was clear coated with a clear lacquer. We decided to leave all of the dings and imperfection in the cage as it truly shows the journey this lamp has been on over the years.
The light has been professionally rewired with period correct braided cable and it's fitted with an inline switch. The lamp has a generous 1.5 mtr power cable. The cage of the lamp is correctly earthed and it has been PAT tested.
The light comes with a Vintage Edison incandescent filament bulb. This style of lamp is excellent when used to light a corner of a room or a piece of art. Vintage inspection lamps are always popular as they can be used virtually anywhere in the home or Garage. This one is extra special as it’s so much larger than a standard inspection lamp. This opens it up to a wide range of bayonet fitting vintage style bulbs. There is some rocking of the bulb in the fitment but thats to be expected given how many bulbs have probably been in and out of it over the last 75+ years !!
When lit the light looks stunning as it casts the most amazing shadows. The photos really don't do it any justice at all.
This is not just beautiful light but a great piece of early 20th century art that is guaranteed to be a conversation piece for years to come!
This lamp has the following approx dimensions:
Cone Diameter - 16 cm
Length - 39cm
