Vintage Black Anglepoise Lamp Model 75 by Herbert Terry & Sons

This stunning Herbert Terry & Sons Model 75 Anglepoise lamp is an absolute design classic and one which in our opinion no home should be without. Modified by the company over the years, the Model 75 replaced the original 1227 Anglepoise lamp, designed by George Carwardine, after they stopped producing this model for a time in 1968.

As an engineer the inadequacies of available lighting products were all too clear to Carwardine, prompting him to set about developing a frictionless mechanism that could balance and direct light to any position. Essentially, he wanted to create a lamp that was as versatile as a human arm, having instant flexibility and, more elusively, the ability to hold the chosen position, all at the touch of a finger. 

Designed originally as commercial task lighting, however the market for home and office use soon became apparent. 

With visible wear commensurate with age and use. The light holds its positions well and features some chipping, tarnish and marks to the paint as photographed.

The lamp has been rewired with old gold nylon twisted flex (approximately 204cm) and has been fitted with a new UK 3 pin plug. Requires a standard B22 bayonet lightbulb. 

Due to the many adjustable positions of the lamp, it's quite hard to measure but here's a few approximate measurements to get you going, feel free to get in touch should you require any more. At the tallest point with everything standing to attention/upright, the light measures 90cm tall while the base of the lamp measures 16cm in diameter. Finally, the cone measures 21.5cm long with a diameter of 14cm.
