Rare Early Mid Century Converted Medical Health Lamp By Barber 1950's
 
Things don’t get any more mid-century modern than this fantastic and rare converted Barber medical health lamp.  The design is fantastic, real atomic age.   It was made by the British company Barber. 

Barber was based out of Bournville near Birmingham and they were known for the very highest quality medical health lamps from the last century. Many of their designs were only available on prescription which makes them much rarer than the Pifco or Philps lamps.
 
To convert this to a more useful table lamp we removed the old infra-red element and fabricated a mount to accept a reproduction Bakelite style bulb holder. The internals were all rewired and because of the exceptional quality we were able to re-use the original switch. We added a generous 1.5 m period correct vintage braided cable and a UK 3 pin plug. The lamp is fully earthed and it has been PAT tested. To complete the lamp we have fitted a 95mm Edison incandescent globe bulb (included) . When lit the filament is clearly visible and it reflects off the polished rear panel.
 
What’s great about this item is that it has both front and back covers are included. These can be fitted when the lamp isn’t in use by removing the bulb and it looks fantastic !
 
Don’t miss out on this lamp. It’s the only Barber one with this atomic age design that I have ever seen.
 
This item is in good vintage condition with just minor discolouration and pitting to the main dome front and rear.
