Vintage Medical Floor Lamp, Adjustable with Bakelite Head

A striking vintage adjustable floor lamp, originally designed for medical or therapeutic use, featuring an art deco style sculptural black and ivory Bakelite lamp head mounted on a spring-assisted telescopic steel column. This piece reflects mid-20th century European industrial design, where function and engineering were prioritised in equal measure. The lamp retains its original heavy cast metal base on castors, allowing it to be easily repositioned, while providing excellent stability when fully extended. The height-adjustable column incorporates an internal spring mechanism, enabling smooth, controlled extension via a twist-lock collar, originally designed for one-handed operation in medical settings. The black and ivory Bakelite lamp head is fully adjustable, offering both tilt and rotational movement for precise directional lighting. An integrated on/off switch is positioned on the top of the lamp head. Originally intended an infrared therapy lamp, this vintage medical floor lamp has been modernised for contemporary interiors. The vented grille and open front construction, once used to manage heat from high-output bulbs, now create a distinctive industrial aesthetic when paired with a warm filament lamp. This vintage medical floor lamp has been professionally rewired using modern, safety-compliant electrical components. A highly functional and unique floor lamp, well suited to studios, creative workspaces and residential interiors where directional, adjustable illumination is required, with the added benefit of a castor-mounted base for easy repositioning.
