Handwoven Telephone Wire Accent, White

About the Item

It is said that this stunning art form started with the African night shift security workers being bored on duty. They brought these weaving skills back to their villages and shared them with their wives, who have mastered them into today's sought-after pieces. The weavers behind these objects started by applying traditional skills in creating baskets for household usage. Time has passed, and remarkable innovative methods were applied, giving the lampshades a contemporary edge. Today, these beautiful telephone wire crafts have evolved into highly expressive contemporary art forms. The exceptional techniques of our handwoven lampshade accent, the modern design, and the elegant shapes make them the perfect symmetry for any interior design project. These pieces are individually woven by hand, so each piece is unique. Some pieces might be slightly different in size and finishes, which is a distinctive way to highlight their natural character and our commitment to upcycling and sustainability.

Tilgmans Swedish Modern Green Woman Wall Plate, Centerpiece, 1950s
By Tilgmans Keramik
Located in Copenhagen, DK
Extraordinary modernist item by Swedish Tilgmans Keramik. Fully glazed centerpiece or wall decoration depicting a green faced woman with long stemmed yellow and blue flowers on a striped dark blue background created with the sgraffito technique. Manufactured in 1957 by German/Swedish Paul Harald Tilgman in his workshop in a small town close to Gothenburg in Sweden. Blue patterned glaze on the sides and muted blue leaves on the milky white glazed base. Signed and dated on base. A rare and unique piece in beautiful condition! Sweden, 1957. About Tilgmans Keramik: Paul Harald “Harry” Tilgmann was born in Dresden, Germany in 1904 and emigrated to Sweden during WWII where he started Tilgmans Keramik (= Ceramics) in 1948 in the small town of Utbynäs close to Gothenburg. Tilgman had 16 employees working for him and when he hired the Polish refugee Marian Zawadzki (1912-1978) as artistic director in 1953, Tilgman Keramik started experimenting with the distinct sgraffito technique. The sgraffito technique consists of carving fine lines into the background of a design through a light coloured glaze down to a dark grey clay slip. This created a unique textured ground which has become a style associated with Tilgmans Keramik in particular. The decorative elements also appear to be outlined with a carved line and then hand painted with overglazes where birds, fish, flowers, butterflies and other animals were a common theme. This type of work was the most popular in Mid Century Sweden alongside Tilgmans small animal figurines...
