Queen Elizabeth II : Coronation No.1


Queen Elizabeth II : Coronation No.1




Here at Ade & Viv HQ we're starting early with our preparations to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee, we've produced a range of just 2 retro standard lamps commerating this landmark occasion. This standard lamp enjoys being furnished in the souvenir issue of Illustrated Magazine dated 1953, depicting the coronation of our Queen with a selection of illustrations and photos. The overall look is definitely vintage, but a bit kitsch too. Nice.

To crown this jewel in our collection we've paired this standard lamp with a  lampshade made of  two post World War 1 flags to lend a bit of patronage to our creations. Due to the age of the flags we've done our very best preserve these beauties; they are frayed around the edges and have a few holes, but fear not, Ade & Viv think they look all the better for being like this - we wouldn't want to hide their authenticity!

The lampshade measures 45cm in diameter and approximately 36cm high. The standard lamp measures approximately 150cms in height.
