FAQs

The Anglepoise design was developed in the 1930s by British engineer George Carwardine, who invented a spring-tension mechanism to replicate the flexibility of the human arm.

Authentic period pieces typically feature cast iron bases, steel arms, exposed tension springs, and spun aluminium or steel shades with polished chrome or painted finishes.

Authentication involves checking for makers stamps or patents on the base, specific spring configurations, heavy cast metal components, and correct period electrical fittings.

Position the piece on a wooden writing desk or sideboard to introduce a metallic focal point that contrasts with organic textures and provides targeted functional illumination.

Maintain polished chrome surfaces by dusting with a dry microfiber cloth and avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners that can damage the metallic finish.
