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.
