Hadrill Horstmann Counterbalance Anglepoise - Mid Century Lamp
A classic piece of British industrial design, this Hadrill and Horstmann counterbalance Anglepoise lamp was manufactured in Godalming, Surrey and dates from the 1960s. Representing the second generation of the brand’s iconic counterbalanced lamps, this version refines the original design with a more streamlined, elegantly curved arm and a slightly updated form—while retaining the robust functionality that made these lamps a staple in workshops, studios, and technical environments.
The hallmark of this design is the ingenious counterweight mechanism, which allows for smooth, precise adjustability with minimal effort. Made from high-quality materials and built to last, this lamp is not only practical but also sculptural—making it equally suited to use as a task light or as a statement piece in a modern interior.
A true midcentury industrial classic, this Hadrill and Horstmann lamp combines mechanical precision with timeless aesthetics. Perfect for collectors, designers, or anyone seeking original mid century lamp with authentic character and functionality.
Condition: Vintage. Some wear to the paint work. Poise mechanism works well. The shade is a highly unusual pairing for this lamp. Unlikely to be a replacement due to the unique fixing point required. Possibly marking it as an early test model for this range.
The lamp is currently being fitted with new cord, plug and bulb holder to bring it up to code. Expected in store mid July. Please enquire to reserve.
