Ceramic Table Lamp with Original Shade by Bernard Rooke, England

About the Item

Mid-century table lamp by British ceramic artist Bernard Rooke, with its original rattan-covered shade. See notes on condition, shade and wiring/bulb below. The ceramic base is broadly circular in shape, with abstract decoration in a mixture of glazes/finishes in natural tones of terracotta, brown and warm grey. Overall the piece is in good vintage condition, with minor age-related wear and the Rooke stamp to the base. The original shade - quite rare to see now - has age-related flaws (see below). New wiring will be required to meet your local needs and regulations. We always recommend the use of low-heat bulbs to protect fixtures for the future. Shade: The original rattan shade has retained good circular shape, with occasional losses to the cane and stitching on the outside. The inside lining has light dents and areas of staining, and the seam of the liner is loose; these areas of wear do not appear to have passed through to the outside. The shade is complete with its original duplex carrier which fits over the original bayonet-fitting switched lamp-holder. The shade is included in the listing, but if you prefer not to take it, please let us know and we will adjust the shipping costs accordingly. Approximate dimensions: Ceramic only: H 36cm x W 30cm x D 13cm Shade only: H 34.5cm x Dia 36cm Overall: H 73.5cm x Dia 36cm Bernard Rooke was born in 1938, and studied ceramics at Goldsmiths College. In 1960 he set up a workshop in Forest Hill in south London, sharing with another pottery artist, Alan Wallwork. Rooke made progressive sculptural work and early pieces were hand-formed using coils and blocks. His work is found in private collections as well as museums and galleries around the world, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
