‘Armadillo Lamp’ A 1930’s HMV electric fire converted into a unique, stylish floor lamp
A gorgeous 1930’s Art Deco electric heater restored and converted into a unique floor lamp.
The heater was produced by HMV and is quite a rare piece.
It has lovely parabolic aluminium fins that light up beautifully whilst on.
The curvy silver chrome backdrop and the kidney shaped khaki grey metal base add to the style of the design.
I removed the heater element and replaced it with a silver edison screw lamp holder.
The 20cm long test tube LED filament bulb slots in neatly within the curved fins and illuminates the metal very effectively.
The light bulb is included in the price.
Please note there are few marks of age on the metal surfaces, but nothing very noticeable.
I have used a vintage style red and black herringbone braided flex that complements the grey base, and there is a black foot switch mid way along the flex to turn the lamp on and off with ease.
All electrical items used are new and approved by CE safety standards.
The lamp has been PAT tested.
Perfect for a redundant fire place. It would brighten up any room, adding character and vintage style.
