Summary
Seven assorted mid to late 1970s doll's house lamps with a power unit (circa 1975 to circa 1979), made by the Swedish company 'Lundby'. These accessories are made for the doll's house known as the 'Gothenburg' or 'Goteburg' house (recorded separately as inventory number - 662229). The black three pronged power unit has a long black flex to a small two pronged white plug, made by ‘Lundby’. There is a brown wooden standard lamp with a yellow shade edged with gold braid. A rectangular white strip light with flex and plug. One cream and gold blue ceiling pendant light, one plastic glass and gold ceiling light, fixed with blue tack, removed. One ceiling pendant with a pink silk shade, one white and gold table lamp, with a white plastic shade and one gold and white table lamp with white plastic shade with a gold top knot. Only the standard lamp and table lamps are on display - the rest of these objects are in store. All these items would only work on a 'Lundby Gothenburg' doll's house. The house belonged to the donor's two daughters – Donna (born 1972) and Helena (born 1967). Total number of items is 8.
