This piece has found its new home, but plenty of other one-of-a-kind finds await you. Discover similar pieces.
Prova made lamps in Italy through the 1960s and 70s, and most of them found their way to Britain via BHS. That makes them a proper bit of high street history - affordable, well-made lighting that echoed the look of far pricier designers of the day, sold to ordinary households rather than collectors.
You'll spot a Prova by its chrome stems and goosenecks, spun aluminium shades, and bold enamelled colour — mustard, olive, purple, orange. Simple, adjustable, built to be used.
They're often misattributed to Dutch makers like Gepo or Anvia, but these were Italian through and through. Fifty years on, they've become genuinely collectable - a reminder that good design didn't always come with a designer price tag.
Every Prova lamp we sell is checked, rewired where needed, and ready to plug in.
