Help to locate light.

[Malcolm]

Hi all.
Would anyone be able to point me to where I might be able to locate something like the picture below? It stands about 700/800mm high and is bolted to the concrete base.
Thanks for any help.

Errr...there is one in the picture? Anyway in all seriousness, if I knew where to get one of those I wouldn't tell as I would like it, or even two. Sorry can't help sadly.

That looks a bit bespoke, it shouts very expensive too.
You could try contacting Urbis as an example and see what they can do but it wouldn't be cheap !

I've been trying to find one as well... Not even a pic in Google Images...

3d print your own....

Looks like a street lamp, that’s been cut down.

 

[Dave OCD]

It does look like an old decorative lantern but with a flat plate for bolting down instead of a spigot for post top mounting.

Looks like a piece of tat to me.

I have to show you the thing I had to assemble and fit a year or so ago now,[It moved house with its owner and arrived in several boxes] took a whole day and weighed a ton !

Did you not post this on the forum some months ago regarding fixing etc?

This is before it fell down, it is now part of a stained glass window.

I think something like this was made bespoke. Are you trying to get one similar for another location? There is a company that makes these types of fittings. English lamposts.co.uk.

Hi. Thanks for all the replies, especially the funny ones.
The hinge to the door has broke and I can't see how it could be repaired. So the customer has asked me to try to find one similar. She is Indian and I did wonder if she had brought it over from there?

Yes you're right Anthony, I'd forgotten that though !

 

[Dillb]

Probably worth trying antique dealers and see if they can source anything for you

 

[westward10]

Someone would be able to repair that.

It depends how similar it needs to be - post top lights are easy enough to come by, but if it needs to be more exact then you'll either have to trawl around reclamation yards or get one made specially.

I like that ornate as it is, it has an R63 or R80 lamp in it - the least ornate ever!
I say get it mended, if it’s down to brazing or spot welding then there’ll be someone local who can help.
R80 - what is the world coming to!
Edit - unless I’m wrong and it’s some sort of sodium lamp.

The only people that I know and might be able to help are Charles Edwards on the Kings Road and Christopher Wray, I think he made his money in the past by selling off old scrap lamp posts he bought cheap from London councils.

As per Westwood, any decent engineering shop should be able to repair/recondition it.
