Pair Wall Sconces by Deborah Thomas of The Northern Fleet Series

About the Item

Pair Wall Sconces by Deborah Thomas of The Northern Fleet Series Constructed using numerous pieces of broken glass jars, each individually wired to an armature and lit with individual lights. Provenance Christie's London, May 10, 2000, Lot 100. The Collection of Ann and Gordon Getty. This item can be viewed in person at The Berkshire Galleries in Great Barrington Massachusetts. Welsh born artist Deborah Thomas has a magical touch. Transforming and recycling unwanted glass bottles into sophisticated works of functional beauty, her iconic lighting fixtures are highly coveted. The reuse and recycling of materials to create modern, ethically responsible objects became an important trend within British design in the 1980s. Deborah Thomas's ‘Northern Fleet’ sconces, which are constructed from shards of broken glass, is a spectacular example of this movement. Thomas previously studied Theater Design, and her recycled glass chandeliers have been made for variety of settings, including theater productions, exhibitions, public spaces and private homes.
