Lot 462: A Mid-Century Modern Stained Hardwood Floor Lamp
A mid-century modern floor lamp constructed from solid hardwood, likely mahogany, finished with a dark stain. The design features a square-section stem that tapers slightly towards the top, mounted onto a substantial square plinth base with a matching grain. The lamp is fitted with a standard brass bayonet cap (B22) bulb holder and a modern brown twin-core plastic-coated cable. There are no maker marks, labels, or signatures visible on the wooden components or the electrical fittings. The lamp is sold as a decorative item and requires PAT testing by a qualified professional before use. An orange rectangular adhesive inventory sticker is present on one face of the stem.
Condition report:
The wooden surfaces exhibit minor scuffs and light surface scratches consistent with domestic use, particularly visible along the edges and corners of the square base (photo 1). The brass bulb holder shows a light layer of natural oxidation and tarnishing (photo 1). The timber grain remains prominent with no visible structural cracks, splits, or repairs to the stem or base. The modern cable appears intact, though the plug is not visible in the provided image to verify current British Standard compliance.
