It’s a very lamp-tastic lot!

We picked up five lovely vintage desk lamps in various styles & colours at the same market. They included a classic Conran Maclamp with this unusual metallic paint finish.

A few bits of nice pottery & glass too. The 1960s dish with its abstract design depicting what looks like two figures was produced in Israel and introduced a new designer & pottery to us – always good to keep learning!

Industrial Vintage

selection of industrial vintage home, office & factory items including filing cabinets, lamps and radios

Justin had his “industrial vintage” head on at this week’s auction; picking up a selection of drawers, radios & lamps. They looked good grouped together even as they were being unloaded from the car, so we took a quick snap.

The shorter set of drawers is wooden, the taller ones steel. They’re both painted that classic green and are perfect for office, crafting, tools or potting shed. The radios were produced by Hacker & Roberts respectively. Both companies hold the Royal Warrant, so build quality & sound are excellent. We love the lamps – the cream one is a classic 1960s Anglepoise and has our favourite shape of shade. The red one is a gorgeous little number – very sturdily built and multi-positional. A great industrial look and original red paint too! It was produced by Metek and these lamps are quite hard to come across, so probably the star of today’s show.
