This unusual cabinet has stood at the Pitt-Rivers Museum, Oxford in the main atrium for many years. There it contained a display of "Housing" - a model of a thatched building. It is discernible in a photograph of the museum interior dating to around 1900 - or at least it looks to be the same - the only cabinet of this format. It has been reglazed in its time at Oxford with modern glass.

    An Art Deco Cast Bronze London Underground escalator uplighter

    An archetypal piece of Art Deco station furniture, this cast bronze uplighter is not just a functional light but an iconic piece of Tube history. It was removed from its place on the escalators in 1974; unfortunately we only have the lamp, not the escalator it once graced, so now it is mounted on a small wooden plinth. The photograph on the right shows a prototype escalator assembly in the factory, with just such an uplighter in position on the left.
