Re: Chelsea Whitefriars Wall Lights
Nice lamps, The shades could be by Whitefriars, but not seen these before.
I am inclined to move this to the vintage lighting forum though.

Re: Chelsea Whitefriars Wall Lights
A bit late to the party, but, yes, the series is 'Chelsea' and the shades are by Whitefriars.
The wall lamps were produced for a good amount of time, but seem to be quite scarce these days. I've only ever seen a handful of them over the years (I've got a pair myself).
The earliest incarnations had tubes of steel with a silver-effect paint, and the later ones, I believe, were polished aluminium. Yours appear to be the later ones - which is no bad thing, as the silver paint on the early ones has a habit of peeling off in sheets if rust gets underneath.
