Below: Described as "The very latest thing in decorative lighting", the Crestworth Galaxy is a one of the world's most loved fibre optic lights, and was marketed as the SAFE glass fibre optic lamp. Crestworth's Galaxy presents a space age design, that appears to be a darkerned enclosure, however when switched on, the top becomes alive with minutely fine lights, which create an ever-moving, swaying sea of light, genetly changing from one vivid colour to another. The result is a light effect that is indescribably lovely, a veritable galaxy of enjoyment, all enclosed in a patented sealed enclosure. Galaxy is a stunning fibre optic lamp. Below one can see a scan from a Crestworth brochure for Galaxy, contemporary images and patent information. |

Below: Old Meets New in: "The 'Traction" Lamp. The romance of the steam age captured by present design techniques with the soothing movement of turning wheels - throwing a light on the POWER OF THE PAST! Crestworth's Traction Lamp presents a model steam engine in a copper anodic lantern enclosure, to create a unique decorative traditional light.
Below: The Motion of Time with Liquid: The Cannon Timer. With its elegant gold finish, here is a timer described in vintage brochure material as "the ideal ornamental telephone timer" or "luxury egg timer". However Crestworth's Cannon Timer is a timer with a difference and features fascinating rising coloured oil action, which is just the thing for those who prefer an intriguing "gentle reminder' instead of tiresome second by second accuracy! The Cannon Timer is a truly unique product. |
