eBay watch: 1970s space age alarm clock lamp

Posted on | Leave a comment

Spacelamp

Not sure of the make, the designer (if there is one) or the specific year, so let's just refer to this as 1970s space age alarm clock lamp.

The lampshade is apparently made of brushed aluminium with perforations on the top for ventilation, while the stem and base are made of chocolate brown plastic. That's not forgetting the digital alarm clock at the front of the base with a black face and a rectangular protective perspex screen, along with 'light up' green numbers.

It's described as being in 'very good condition' and in 'full working order', with a few age related marks – see the site if you want to know more about that. Right now, it's at just £1.20.

eBay watch: 1960s Scandinavian teak ceiling lamp

Posted on | Leave a comment

Danish

The information is a little vague, but there's no denying that this 1960s Scandinavian teak ceiling lamp is an eye-catching design.

It was made by AB Elysett / Markaryd in Sweden, perhaps designed by Hans Agne Jacobsson, but not for certain. Either way, it's certainly made of teak, with that twisted wood design that would fit perfectly in a midcentury-inspired home.

It's in working order, with a small defect that's pictured on the site. But at the current price of £1, that shouldn't be much of an issue.

eBay watch: 1960s marble and chrome floor lamp

Posted on | Leave a comment

Light

Not a lot known about this by the seller, but there's no denying that the 1960s marble and chrome floor lamp is an eye-catching design.

It has a heavy marble base that supports a chrome tube, which branches out into three chrome stems, each with a ball shade at the end. The stems are held together by a black plastic disc and can be rotated to illuminate different areas.

It's in 'full working condition', with the odd small chip to the marble base – see the description for full condition details. £9.99 is the starting price and as yet, there's no interest. So it could turn out as something of a bargain.

eBay watch: 1960s Ercol blonde dropleaf coffee table

Posted on | 5 Comments

Ercol

A few bids on this already, but the 1960s Ercol blonde dropleaf coffee table on eBay right now is still incredibly cheap.

A timeless midcentury gem, the coffee table measures 61cm diameter and is 40cm high. With the table with leaf down it measures 37cm wide. According to the seller, it has a figured elm top with single leaf, supported by a blonde beech gateleg which opens out supporting the leaf. All the legs and X-Stretcher are beech and have that distinctive Ercol tapered form.

Condition-wise, it has some wear from age and the odd scuff to the varnish, but 'nothing too serious' apparently. Price? Right now a steal at just £6.62.

eBay watch: 1970s Guzzini Sorella space age table lamp in black

Sorella1

We featured one of these in white some time back, but now there's a rare 1970s Guzzini Sorella space age table lamp in black being offered on the eBay site.

Designed by Studio Tecnico Harvey for Guzzini back in 1972, this space age design got even more notoriety for its extensive use in cult 70s series Space 1999 – see over the page for a picture of it there. You can see why it was used, even today it looks ahead of its time.

This particular example is in black and described as being in 'very good' condition, although there is a tiny hairline crack to the base, which is pictured on the site (should you want a closer look). Saying that, right now it's just 7p, which is an absolute steal.
