History

In 1931 George Carwardine developed an idea for using springs, cranks, and levers to balance weights. Experimenting with his concept, and using springs developed by Herbert Terry & Sons Ltd, he eventually managed to create a durable engineers’ lamp which could be moved into a number of positions – and in 1932 manufacture of Anglepoise lamps began. This Anglepoise changed design in 1969, to model 75, and included features such as a rounded base instead of the standard square shape; it was then further modified and evolved into model 90, and these are the lamps we offer here.
