A lovely vintage desk lamp made by "Bestlite” dating from the 1940/50s. It has a fully adjustable chrome arm and is set on a heavy round base. The shade is original and is also adjustable and swivels on a ball joint at the end of the arm. The base and shade are both painted with the original black paint.
It is in good original condition. There are general signs of age and use, some small knocks and minor dings but nothing detrimental. There is slight paint loss and the chrome has tarnished in places but overall it displays very well. It is in full working order and has been PAT tested. It has been re-wired to modern standards with a new chrome bulb holder to take a normal bayonet bulb.
The base of the lamp has a diameter of approximately 7" (18cm) and when upright the lamp stands approximately 19" (49cm) tall.
