Georgia Jacob, Corolle Series Sculptural Modernist Handkerchief Lamp Base

About the Item

This majestically sculptural lamp is of French design by Georgia Jacob's company (1988 - 2012). This particular piece comes from the Corolle series, one of many series where Jacob explored shape and form exclusively through the arrangement of drape. The overall composition is characterised by exceptionally tactile and organic qualities, with a core arrangement of 16 folds that are encircled by an outer band of 19 ruffles made of the Saffron Mango toned resin. This piece is finished with an elegant resin marble base, further accentuating the subtle luxury of the design. Standing at half a metre tall, this stunning statement piece brings sophisticated Minimalism to its surroundings. Condition Excellent. No chips, cracks, or repairs. There is faint wear to the surface that is commensurate with the age of the piece, please see photographs as they form part of the condition report. The underside of the base is labeled with the original label. Lamp takes a 40w candle screw bulb with the length of the cord being c. 6 ft / 183 cm. Measurements Height: c. 21" / 53 cm high. Width c. 9.8" / 25 cm (across the widest point). Base measurements: c. 5.1" / 13 cm diameter. Weight: c. 1.4 kg / 1,395 g. Lamp takes a 40w candle screw bulb with the length of the cord being c. 6 ft / 183 cm. A bit of history Georgia Jacob International (1988 - 2012) Georgia Jacob International was founded in 1988 in Wasselonne, a small commune in the north of France, c. 26 km from Strasbourg. Jacob only produced handkerchief and flaming torch design lamps made of resin (polyester), fibreglass or acrylic with several different bases made in marble, brass, metal, wood, or resin. Lamp series included the Corolle, Kali, Athena, Ella, Ophélie, Fruit d’Ange (angel fruit). Sadly not much more is known about the company and records trace the company as discontinuing in 2012 due to insufficient assets.

    By Albert Hallam, Beswick
    Located in Frome, GB
    This vivid work of of mid-century Modernist design is by Albert Hallam for British Pottery Beswick, a firmly celebrated name in British ceramics design. The stylised and elegant bottle form rested against the draped cushioning is just one of a range of creative and unexpected designs found in the Zebrette series. The semi-matte satin glaze décor is a base of Chiffon cream that is overlaid with the hand-painted Sable black stripes. The interior is an application gloss glaze in Bumblebee yellow, creating a striking contrast. This elegantly striking piece is stylistically contemporary and yet also prominently of the mid-century vivaciousness, the combination of the form with the colour palette and condition makes it a rare find. Condition Excellent. There are no chips or repairs. The most significant wear is movement marks that is on the underside of the base and mild crazing that is commensurable with the age of the piece. Please refer to photos as they form part of the condition report. The underside of the base bears the inscription 'BESWICK, ENGLAND' and the model number '1343', accompanied by the Beswick stamp and the text 'REGISTRATION APPLIED FOR'. Measurements Height: c. " 9.8 / 25 cm. Width: c. 5.7" / 14.6 cm (across widest point). Rim measurements: c. 3.1" / 7.8 cm. Depth: c. 9.6" / 24.5 cm. Base measurements: c. 4.4" / 11.2 cm x c. 5.7" / 14.6 cm. A Bit Of History Beswick Pottery 1892 - 2002 The Beswick firm was founded as 'J W Beswick' in 1892 by James Beswick and his sons in Staffordshire and originally produced tableware and ornaments. Following James Beswick's death in 1921, his grandson John took over and continued to expand the business. In 1934, introduced a new range of jugs, bowls and vases decorated with new matte glazes. Responding to the Modernist design influence of the time, many of these highly distinctive shapes were designed by Mr Symcox. These works were often decorated in 'satin-matte' glazes using soft pastel colours running into each other or arranged in striking modern geometric blocks and lines. Beswick would go on to become known for their ceramic animal figures before being taken over by Royal Doulton in 1969 and finally closing in the early 2000s. Little is known about the life and background of Albert Hallam. However, it is known that Hallam joined Beswick at the age of 14 as apprentice mould maker and in due course became the head of mould making. His model of the Norwegian Fjord Horse is a sought after collectible today. It is also known that Hallam contributed to hundreds of designs in the 1940s alone. Together with other well-known Beswick designers such as Colin Melbourne...
