Origin: UK

Lighting design in the UK benefitted from a free market. Different companies were working at the same time, designing and producing similar products for the same market. Often with only slight differences in their style, they constantly upgraded and improved their original designs. The products we salvage come from the old industrial heartland of England. This area of the UK was once the boiler room of the British economy - from the potteries of Stoke, through the engineering works of Birmingham, to the wool, textile and cotton mills of Oldham and Manchester.

Restoration

Retaining the original manufacturer's paint finish, the surface patina adds a lot of character and emphasises the age of these products. A substantial two-part aluminium enclosure features cast manufacturers detailing, the original product plaque, along with the original explosion proof clear glass well.
