Mid-century lighting
Call it ‘mid-century lighting’, call it ‘mid-century modern lighting’—chances are that what you are looking for actually covers a fairly broad spectrum of design. Originally an American reflection of what was going on in Europe design-wise, today mid-century modern has come to mean more than just the likes of Bertoia and Eames. As it turns out, a mid-century floor lamp, table lamp, wall lights or ceiling lights will blend in and stand out—in a good way—in almost any interior.
Pair vintage Besselink & Jones swing arm floor lamps
Restored, rewired... two vintage Besselink & Jones triple swing arm library lamps.
When we found them they had aged to a very dark brown. ( unlacquered brass)
We polished them by hand to regain the original nice antique brass look. Some aging spots still showing on the base...giving away its age/ nice patina.
They are unlacquered, so the patina build up continues. Just rub with silver-cloth once a month and they will stay like this.
We rewired them with a double lamp socket cluster...gives you more direct light on your book.
We had two new knife pleat shades with manchet made in an Emerald silk. Gold liner.
Silk cord available.
As shown in image top of shade is at 130cm. ( could go lower and a good 25cm higher)
Shade shown 27.5/17.5/21 cm side.
