Mid-Century Modern Style Italian Desk Light in Brass Inspired by Stilnovo

About the Item

A Mid-Century Modern style Italian table lamp or desk lamp made of brass and black lacquered metal, with two directional designed lampshades, with one bulb holder in the smaller shade. We believe this piece to be of recent 21st century production and In the style of Stilnovo from the 1950’s-1960’s. Both lampshades are fully adjustable, the smaller one directs the throw of the light onto the larger shade. The larger lampshade creates an atmospheric lighting display, with both shades having symmetrical pierced holes running concentrically around the outer edge. This also creates wonderful lighting patterns from this intervention. The lamp can also be adjusted to sit higher or lower by tightening the horizontal bar, either lower or higher up the main shaft. This lamp can be rewired for any region and comes with a switch breaker to one end of your flex, particularly useful when positioned on a desk or table. Wear is consistent with age and use and is very minor, not detracting from the overall look and appearance. The style of the light is distinctively circa 1950-1960, Milan, Italy. We also have one other light in a white and brass colour way. Height: 17 in. (43.18 cm) Width: 6 in. (15.24 cm) Depth: 11 in. (27.94 cm)

  • Bernard Rooke Brutalist Abstract Table Light in Organic Style 1960’s-1970
    By Bernard Rooke
    Located in London, GB
    An organic and Brutalist style Butterly table lamp. No chips or cracks. Has been professionally rewired and PAT tested. Easily rewired for all regions. Bernard Rooke (born 1938) is a British artist and studio potter. Rooke has exhibited his "Brutalist" ceramics and painting both in the UK and abroad with work in many collections both public and private including the Victoria and Albert Museum, Cleveland Museum of Art, Nuffield Foundation, Röhsska Museum in Sweden and the Trondheim Kunstmuseum in Norway. Bernard Rooke attended Ipswich School of Art studying painting and lithography before going on to study at Goldsmiths College of Art. It was while studying here that he decided to take up pottery. Although unfamiliar with this craft and tradition, he found that working with clay provided new opportunities for freedom of interpretation and creativity. In 1960 Rooke set up his first pottery in Forest Hill in South London along with Alan Wallwork. It was a very small room with enough space for a small electric kiln. He was initially using mainly hand building, coiling, blocking and slabbing techniques. While researching ideas, he was supporting himself by part-time lecturing at London University, Goldsmiths College and St Mary's College. In addition, Rooke's membership of 'The Craftsman Potters' Association' enabled him to show his work in a shop in Carnaby Street in London. In 1967, both the need for a larger working space and becoming disillusioned with living in London spurred Rooke into moving out of the city and to an old mill building in Swilland in Suffolk. Rooke wanted to widen the range of work so as to become more commercial. With the birth of his son, Aaron, and much needed work to be done on the mill, it was important to be able to make a living. In 1968, the Grand Metropolitan Hotel commissioned Rooke to make 120 standard lamps, 120 table lamps as well as a 24 foot long ceramic mural and another 9 foot high, which incorporated interior lighting. The money from the commission helped to pay for much needed restoration work on the mill. By the 1970s, a gallery space was opened in the windmill and run by Susan Rooke, Bernard's wife, selling work to locals and tourists as well as to American airmen based nearby. The vision for Mill Gallery was beginning to develop and alongside this a reputation was building bringing in a good source of income. Sons Aaron and Felix were becoming more involved with the running of the pottery, giving Bernard more time to develop new ideas and designs and more time to continue with his painting. In 2004, the Rooke family decided not to sell to the public through the gallery anymore and close the pottery to concentrate more on painting and printmaking. In 2017 Bernard's lighting was featured in the Exhibition: “Glass, Light, Paint & Clay” at the Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery. The exhibition featured four artists: Bernard Rooke, John Maltby...
