Vintage Herbert Terry Scumble Anglepoise Lamp
Original classic anglepoise 1227 gold scumble Herbert Terry desk lamp.
The first lamp marketed to the general public was designed in 1935, the 1227 lamp. This lamp really came to prominence when WWII broke out. The breakout of war was terrifying, people were worried about themselves & their loved ones and knowing that the possibility of night air raids was high, Herbert Terry & Sons cleverly marketed the 1227 lamp as the “ideal blackout lamp” — perfect for directing light to where it was needed without causing it to leak through any gaps in window coverings!
