Rare Authentic Mid Century Modern 1950’s Surgery Light with Stand
NOW AVAILABLE for SALE.
Vintage Authentic Surgery Light for Examination & Surgical Operating Room.
Probably the most asked/about item in my gallery for 10 years.
This is a 1950’s surgery lamp, which was originally clamped onto a ceiling track, but was modified into a floor lamp with the use of an industrial photography studio tripod. The head swivels to re/direct the light.
Fits four standard/halogen/coloured/any bulb of your choice, which are reflected onto four inverted metal disks.
Comes with 16 foot power cord, and can have a standard dimmer added for effect.
I’ve had this lamp for 35 years & it has seen my life in London, San Francisco, Montreal, New York & Vanilla/Town.
Measures 7 feet in height x 40 inches width x under 3 feet in depth.
Comes with a cover to close up the back (I still have it, but kept it off to not over-heat, but also looks better with open back, I find)
There is a partial label which identifies it as Made in Canada.
Would look killer installed on a ceiling in a lounge/restaurant/nite-club/man-cave.
Instant babe/magnet. Trust me.
Available for limited time only.
Asking USD$3500.
Recent years have witnessed the repurposing and refurbishing of vintage surgical lights to suit modern-day interiors, design, and use. Initially designed to serve as operating lights for medical procedures in the 19th and 20th century, these lighting tools showcase a clean-lined industrial design that echo the Modernist aesthetic principles of the 20th century.
