Description
Built to the same rigorous standards as the 1227 desk lamp, this functional lamp is produced exclusively by Anglepoise, a family business now in its fifth generation. Taking the profile of the original lamps domed shade, the period details of this simple light echo the industrial look of 1930s factory lighting with the addition of solid brass components, woven fabric cable and a deco wall mount to compliment the look. Its multidirectional shade can also be rotated to direct the beam of light where needed, while a discrete switch is located on the back plate for ease of use. Regarded as the industry standard for architects, designers or anyone in need of precision lighting, the Original 1227 is now available as an elegant wall light making a versatile feature to arrange in a variety of contemporary spaces.
Our Stylist Says
I love this brass pendant for its timeless industrial appeal combined with a sleek, modern finish. It works really well in minimalist or contemporary interiors, adding a refined touch without feeling too fussy. The black shade with brass detailing makes it versatile for adding contrast in neutral schemes or complementing warm metallic accents elsewhere in the room. Practical styling tips include hanging it over a bedside table for focused task lighting or using a cluster of a few at different heights in a dining space for an understated yet impactful feature. Its simple, clean lines make it adaptable, allowing it to add character whether in a modern bedroom or a boho-inspired scheme.

A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
