Super original Herbert Terry 1930s lamp in a rare mottled paint finish.

Stepped art deco style base with Bakelite fittings and control switch.

Height max 35 inches

Minimum height (up to first counter turn) 21 inches

Condition:

The lamp is fully working and looks as if it's had a vintage rewire at some point in the past (leaving the original Bakelite in place)

The springs have a rusted patina but are strong and have not lost their flex.

The paint finish as some areas of loss mostly to the shade itself although there are scuffs to the base and stem in areas.

The base has developed a quite nice crackle effect to the finish which I think actually adds something to the piece.

At first I felt it was a little loose but with some manipulation it stays on the desired place very well.

The shade has had a knock at some point as is bent slightly out of shape.

Overall a super piece bearing in mind it is coming up to 90 years old.

Gives off a super warm glow. The springs could benefit from a clean with some wire wool if desired.
