Avro Arrow Jet Model Table Lamp

£225.00

A fabulous working Table Lamp model of an Avro Arrow Jet. A Delta Wing supersonic Interceptor jet used by the RAF and Canadian RAF 1957-9. This piece dates from the early 1960s. The wood is mainly maple and the wings are pig skin. The wings simply pull off for access to the bulbs. Picked up from a house clearance the Lamp has been completely restored.

Description

The lamp is now fitted with a SES (small edison screw) bulb holder either side of the fuselage, which actually look uncannily like jet engines. The Plane itself is on a ball and socket joint allowing it to be set at any angle. The wood has been cleaned and polished to high finish and the metal work straightened and repainted. There is very slight bulb heat damage to the pig skin on the under side of one wing. To avoid any repetition it is imperative to use only LED bulbs which create only a tiny warmth and are supplied with the Lamp.

Operation is by a simple push button switch; there is an internal cable grip; the base is baize covered and a standard three pin black UK plug is fitted.

The Lamp is fully tested and registered for electrical safety.
