About the Item

Monumental or oversize studio ceramic table lamp in natural tones by Bernard Rooke, England mid-20th century. A beautiful statement piece, in natural tones of sand and stone, featuring Rooke's own hieroglyphic-style markings. For us colours are best shown in the overview (eg image 3). The simplicity of design and weight of the piece suggests Rooke's early work (unsigned). The piece is in good original condition, with occasional minor flaws in line with the making and firing process. The base is partially covered in original felt with a hole to access the wire, which would leave via a hole in the side. Original wiring has been removed, and you will need to rewire to suit your local needs and regulations. Approximate dimensions: - Ceramic only: Height 47cm (or 54cm including the lamp-holder) x diameter 15.5cm at centre - Weight 9kg Lampshade not included. Bernard Rooke was born in 1938, and studied ceramics at Goldsmiths College in London. In 1960 he set up a workshop in Forest Hill sharing with another pottery artist, Alan Wallwork. Rooke made progressive sculptural work and early pieces were hand-fashioned 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.
