About the Item

A mid-20th century ceramic totem lamp by Bernard Rooke, England. An early piece, hand-built, in neutral brown tones of terracotta and stone, and areas of applied grey/brown glaze. This model has a large textured pyramid base, with the smaller upper components. The pieces are not fused and move slightly on their central tube. A tall piece for floor or low plinth. There are signs of weathering and wear to the ceramic in line with age and use, and flaws arising from the crafting and firing process. See images for examples and overview. Felt pads level the base and provide protection. As with other early Rooke pieces this is not signed or stamped. Wiring: Original wiring has been removed, and we advise this is replaced in the country of install to meet local needs and regulations. Approximate dimensions: Ceramic only: H: 101cm W: 21cm at the base D: 21cm at the base
