Vintage Hadrill & Horstmanm Counterpoise Desk Lamp (SOLD)

A Superb Vintage Aluminium & Steel Counterpoise Desk Lamp by Hadrill & Horstmann. Made from polished Aluminium & Steel with a barrel weighted counterbalance mechanism and a C-shaped fork, with the makers mark Horstman. C1945

Hadrill and Horstmann lamps are defined by a unique barrel-weighted counterbalance mechanism and are affectionately known as ‘Rollers’. Early lamps such as the ‘Touchlight’ from the late 1940’s were simple counterbalance designs that allowed the company to produce affordable products at a lower price point than established competitors. The lamps were a hit with housewives as they were light, easy to move around the house. (This lamp has been re-wired and PAT tested). Height is fully extended.
