...one of them even without scratches. Well, that is enough and with the worst ever amazon experience mostly behind me, I can concentrate on painting this coming weekend :)
It's a lamp from a very traditional English company called Anglepoise. The Type 75 was designed by my favorite tutor from the RCA, Kenneth Grange. The Grand Old Man of English Industrial Design. I was very specific about getting this particular lamp for my desk project. It's very english and subtly industrial, with great "heritage". I actually ordered two, black & white.
This one is going back...
Ak! That chipping would drive me crazy. Impeccable taste again there, Migs.
ReplyDeleteVery nice... Though it certainly seems a troupe of gorillas packed and delivered the goods; completely agree on RTS for a new lamp.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a recent Amazon experience we just had with the shoddy delivery of a dresser.
ReplyDeleteCongrats though, I look forward to seeing some painting progress!
Beautiful lamps! I like the idea to have one of both colours.
ReplyDeleteFinally you get some painting time :-)
ReplyDeleteOne question though does that type of lamp/bulb give off a lot of heat?
Cheers guys,
ReplyDeleteI have one of those supposed "eco bulbs" in there, and it doesn't give out too much heat actually and is a nice hue too. I used to have daylight bulbs, but then realized I check everything in daylight anyway.
That's been some bad luck with those lamps..
ReplyDeleteAny chance of seeing your Crescent guard somewhere in all it's glory?
