Rare Huge Industrial Salvage GECPendant Lamp Light
Note: This stunning old lamp is currently being fitted / adapted with a new bulb holder for domestic use. Listing will be updated when this work has been completed. Turnaround approx 2 weeks from 15th March.
A Very Large and Rare Antique Industrial Salvaged Pendant Lamp
(Manufactured by GEC, England)
These iconic and massive, hexagonal reflector lamps by GEC are few and far between these days, very rarely making their way on to the market.
The design dates to the 1920's and was used in a number of the industrial and government installations of the day, but especially including aircraft hangers and other ancillary RAF buildings.
The design is quite wonderful, the vast domed, umbrella-like body, internally fitted with a number of mirror-glass segments as shown: a hypnotic, kaleidoscopic experience when viewed internally!
The tall upper 'chimney' and cowling from steel, with brass detailing.
The original painted finish of these lamps was often a dull earth-green colour. As this one had lost nearly all of its original paint due to flaking and surface blemishing, it has been carefully cleaned back and lightly burnished leaving a gorgeous, worn, pitted and patinated finish. It has subsequently been lightly waxed (with a good quality, conservation grade microcrystaline wax) to seal the finish.
In certain lights, the surface looks to be a flat, metallic grey, but when moved or viewed at differing angles it can look almost mecurial. I have tried to show this in the photos.
All of the glass segments are original, apart from just one piece, which I had cut to fit the space. The worn quality of the glass (with many blemishes and peeling imperfections to the back of the plates) compliments the worn and industrial look of the exterior.
This large and rare lamp would look absolutely fantastic in the right property and could be the ultimate, final, finishing touch to an industrial or mid-century cool themed interior.
It will be supplied with a new bulb holder fitted, wired with approx four meters of good quality 'metallic' look flex, several meters of hanging chain, a (modern) hanging hook (which compliments the look of the lamp) and finally the whole item will be PAT tested and passed by a qualified electrician prior to dispatch.
This is a character lamp and an original antique example......and pretty much the antithesis of the lifeless, modern day 'industrial repro' examples that are now being 'knocked out' in their thousands.
I can say with confidence that I will not have another of these - they are like hen's teeth - so if this is the right lamp for you, it's a case of grabbing it whilst you can.
