SOLD - PATENT-PENDING 3 step Anglepoise 1227 by Herbert Terry

This is a rare beast indeed; from a very early and limited run of the celebrated 3 Step Anglepoise 1227, stamped Patent Pending from 1933. We believe these were the first off the production line after the 'Prototype' and before they added the earth on the bottom fork on the 3 step version (which is a rare item in it's own right). This stunning example retains much of its original shade and paintwork on the 3 step base and it has worn beautifully since the 1930's. The springs and forks have lovely patina and rust so we have not over polished the lamp, so it retains history and charm. The lamp has been rewired with antique gold 3 core flex and an appropriate Crabtree Bakelite bulb holder, new plug and PAT test. We can't find another 3 step Patent Pending example so will only part with this one reluctantly!
