Antique Industrial Steel Cogge Dugdills Machinist's Wall Desk Lamp Light, C.1910

About the Item

Very rare example of an early factory machinist's lamp made in England by Dugdills. c.1910 Manufactured from steel with a very nice patinated finish throughout, featuring the earlier cogged tightening bolts. Fully articulating, allowing this versatile lamp to be positioned in any manner and can be desk, wall or ceiling mounted. Rewired with 2m of black round flex and BS 3-pin plug About the maker The company was formed in the late 19th century in Manchester by John Dugdill - an electrical engineer. Many of the lamps designed and produced by Dugdills graced workshop machinery such as lathes and illuminated workbenches in their thousands. Even so, they were made to last a lifetime of use and were designed to be beautiful. The earlier variants of Dugdills lamps feature a 'rosette' or 'cog' tightening wheel at the joint allowing the lamp to be locked into any position. Customers could request their lamps in a variety of finishes including painted, oxy-copper or nickel plated and brass.
