A very rare floor lamp designed in the 1950s by Beverley Pick as part of the Chrysaline range for GEC (General Electric Company), UK. As well as producing lighting for GEC, Pick was also a prominent display and exhibition designer.
Chrysaline refers to the plastic translucent coating that covers the metal armature of the shade. The egg-shaped shade sits on a three-legged metal base with brass feet and brass ball handle.
In good original condition. The shade has ageing, especially inside. There is a one small slit to the shade material and another much smaller one although not very noticeable. The shade gives off a nice warm glow.
The lamp has had one owner from new and comes with the original purchase receipt.
Has the original wiring although I’m happy to rewire if preferred.
99.5cm high x 40cm diameter.
