So the follow up to The Dandy'51 and the 2nd in the series 'Strip Lighting' is this rather spectacular retro standard lamp decorated with an issue of school boy fave of the time ..'Eagle' comic, sporting none other than Dan Dare on the cover, of course!
The design of this lamp incorporates a circular table, which we think, assists in the shape of the lamp replicating a Sci-Fi laser gun of some sorts, so Light Red seemed the perfect colour to paint the trim where necessary, the feet are in Machine Green.
What does need to be noted here is the use of lampshade we had bought ourselves, and is not covered with vintage fabric of any sort. We had acquired it only weeks before starting out, so obviously have no use for it now and could see how this lamp required a cone shape shade, not the drum we have been making. The plain red material is backed with a copper inlay, which provides along with its shape, a wonderful 'nozzle' for a laser!
SOLD, sorry
