Description
RARE BRITISH STRAND OF LONDON - VINTAGE FLOOR LAMP - CIR 1950'S
This iconic example of British design was made The Strand Lighting Company in their Covent Garden works in London’s West End.
This profile spotlight - also known as the '23N' was the one of the work horses of the theatre industry from the 1950's to the 1980's.
Regrettably most have now been lost or destroyed and the survivors represent rare examples of an original British Industrial Design classic.
We were very lucky to acquire a few of these lights directly from the Palace Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, London.
They were used for many years, lighting up famous performances including: The Sound Of Music, Cabaret and Les Miserables .
The light has been superbly engineered and features a ventilated die-cast body, 360 degree rotation, Internal reflectors and Iconic design.
This Lamp features a rare extended lens tube, featuring a large 6" Convex Lens.
The Listing is for 2 Items: 1) The Lamp and 2) The Tripod, Black.
The spot light has been professionally restored to a bright finish.
Theatre light dimensions:
Length 33 cms, Width 21 cms, Height 21 cms
The Light gives a wide beam spread for feature / architectural lighting and showing specific objects such as a work of art.
The Light is presented on a handmade classic wooden tripod.
The tripod features height adjustable legs with rich detailed fittings.
The height range is adjustable from 75 cm's to 170 cm's and is ideal for all floor types.
The light has been professionally re-wired with 3 core quality silk braided vintage style lighting flex and fitted with a high quality CE approved inline foot dimmer switch.
The dimmer switch allows for the light to be turned on or off with the press of a button, or to change the brightness from a warm glow to bright spot light with the sliding control.
The dimmer also features a night location neon indicator.
The light has been converted for home or office use and takes regular household light bulbs up to 100 watts, we also had a deluxe vintage style Bakelite plug fitted (BS1363/A).
This light has been fully pat tested by a certified tester for electrical safety and meets with the current British safety requirements.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
