Price History
Description
The quintessential desk lamp, the best-selling Original 1227 is an icon of British design. Pioneering Anglepoise’ constant spring technology, the instantly recognisable silhouette was first introduced in 1934 with this modern classic now given a heritage look thanks to a beautiful mid-century finish and brass detailing.
Our Stylist Says
This brass desk lamp from Heal's adds a sleek, industrial touch to both modern and vintage-inspired interiors. I love its bold black finish contrasted with warm brass accents, making it a versatile piece that can elevate a minimalist workspace or add character to a study or bedside table. For styling tips, pair it with clean-lined furniture to highlight its angular design, or offset it with softer textiles and natural woods for a balanced look. Its adjustable arm makes it practical for task lighting, while its striking design ensures it works well as a statement piece in contemporary or eclectic setups.

About Heal's
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.
