Buyer's Premium:

This lot comprises two mid-20th-century British electric heat lamps. The first is an adjustable infrared radiant heat lamp by Pifco, featuring a stepped, bowl-shaped metal reflector with a cream enamelled finish, a black plastic handle, and a chrome-finished adjustable arm. The reflector bears a circular red and black label marked INFRA RED PIFCO RADIANT HEAT BRITISH MADE. It is fitted with a black plastic-coated cable and a modern white UK three-pin plug. The second item is a portable electric heater by Harper, featuring a blue enamelled metal base, a black metal reflector, and a chrome-finished wire safety guard. The base is fitted with a small metal plaque marked Harper, and the reflector carries a sticker stating USE ONLY IN A VENTILATED ROOM. This item includes a white electrical cord. Both items are sold as historical or collectible objects and are electrically untested. Due to their age and original intended function as heating appliances, they should be professionally inspected, rewired, and PAT tested by a qualified electrician before any attempt is made to connect them to a power supply.
