Vintage Gooseneck Desk Lamp C1930 Gec

1920 - 1940
For Sale by Billy Hunt & Co.
Description

We have a great looking gooseneck table lamp sitting in lovely lightly worn condition in a deep copper bronze colour - the perfect mix of vintage industrial and rather dashing at the same time. The lamp sits well on its shaped round base with good rigid flexibility to the neck which finishes with its ample sized shade. Highly likely by GEC, General Electric Company.

All Billy Hunt & Co lighting is personally chosen for its style, originality, age and detail with all lights being professionally examined by a fully qualified lighting electrician, rewired with an appropriate flex, replugged and PAT tested so it is ready to place and plug in wherever and on whatever you so desire. Unless stated shades are not included.

Billy Hunt and Co is located on a large Victorian farm just a short country drive from the Rangemore village, a designated conservation area, which was built by Michael Thomas Bass in the 1850s to house the Bass Rangemore Estate workers consisting mainly of Victorian redbrick cottages and the occasional barn.

Our home is a classic Victorian designed and well equipped late 19th century 2 story red brick built barn of some 4000 sq feet nestled in classic English countryside, which enjoyed a careful full renovation in 2000. The estate still benefits being managed in the traditional manner with an Estate Manger, estate carpenter, gardeners etc. A rather delightful place to have as our work space.

Martina, there is no Billy at Billy hunt, has led the team since 2103 and is an interior designer qualified from The Inchbald School of Design London whose previous working life included such clients as Vertu, Aston Martin and Johnnie Walker to name a few.

Please do not hesitate to call or email if you have any questions on the pieces that may interest you - Many thanks Martina

This vintage 1930s desk lamp originates from the Art Deco period, styled with a gentleman's library aesthetic. Constructed from patinated brass and steel in a dark bronze finish, the piece comprises a circular weighted base, a flexible gooseneck stem, and an adjustable domed metal shade with a cream-coloured inner reflector and an exposed filament bulb. Light wear appears on the dark bronze metal surfaces of the shade and base. Overall height as pictured is 33 to 35 cm, with a base diameter of 15 cm and a shade width of 16 cm. Suitable for placing on an office desk or study table, the lamp provides directional task lighting. It connects to mains electricity via a black braided flex emerging from the base. The flexible arm allows the user to adjust the angle and height of the shade to direct light where required in a home workspace or library.

FAQs

A 1930s gooseneck desk lamp is an adjustable task light featuring a flexible spiral metal hose stem that allows direct light control. Commonly produced by industrial manufacturers like GEC during the interwar period, these lamps were designed for engineering desks, offices, and workshop environments.

These lamps are typically constructed from spun steel or brass for the shade, a coiled steel flexible hose, and a weighted cast iron or brass base. The metal surfaces were often finished with dark bronze plating, lacquer, or paint to protect against wear.

Authentic period pieces often feature stamped maker marks on the base, shade, or electrical housing, such as the GEC logo. Original items display natural patination, era-appropriate flex entry grommets, and heavy, stable weighted bases rather than lightweight modern metals.

A vintage metal task lamp functions well on a dark wood writing desk, a bedside nightstand, or a console table in a study. It adds texture and focal warmth to modern industrial, classic British, or dark academia decorative schemes.

Clean metal surfaces regularly with a soft dry cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners that strip original patination. Ensure all electrical components are tested and rewired by a qualified electrician to modern safety standards before regular operation.
