Something rather special from another era, a wonderful midcentury linocut featuring a view of the Kremlin across the Moskva river. It’s a Russian original, titled ‘Novgorod, Kremlin’ and is signed and dated 1964 by the artist. It hails from a Leningrad gallery and there is a label in Russian on the back with further details (our Russian is too limited…
A very beautiful and arresting authentic watercolour painting of koi carp by renowned Chinese calligrapher and painter, Chen Hong. You can really sense the movement of the fish through the water with the artist’s brush strokes and composition. Whilst not particularly old (we believe it dates from the 2000s and was purchased around 2010 following an exhibition in Cambridge), it’s…
This midcentury floor lamp is a ray of sunshine on so many levels! It’s a Danish 1970s original that’s been fully rewired, restored and tested, ready to plug in and light up your life. We love the bright, mustard yellow, glossy spotlights which can be height-adjusted, rotated and angled on the chrome stem. These vintage Scandinavian lamps are as sculptural…
An elegant, original, Danish ceiling lampshade, now fully restored and rewired, ready to illuminate your home and add an authentic midcentury note. The two tiers of shade, along with the silver upper mesh throw the light in different directions, rather than simply downwards. The overall effect is subtle, diffused light that gently glows in bands. Sadly no maker’s mark on…
What an absolute beauty this large ceramic vase in. Punctuated by clusters of dots, reminiscent of star constellations in negative, fine lines of grey snake up and around the base. A ‘less is more’ approach to its Raku firing has rendered stunning results. The vase opening is grey with a hint of teal around the rim, a subtle note of…
A strikingly rendered sgraffito dragon adorns this handsome vintage studio pottery plate by renowned British potter, Jill Pryke. It dates from the mid seventies when Pryke was associated with the Ditchling School of Pottery. The dragon is elaborately decorated with claws out, wings extended, scales and fiery breath, he has so much personality, conveyed through Pryke’s decorative mark-making over slip…
Launched in 1963, the Delphis range of vintage Poole Pottery is unmistakably midcentury. A little bit retro, a little bit kitsch, this pair will add an instant burst of vivid colour and sunshine to a dull shelf, sideboard top or window sill. Bright, brash and bold, their hand-painted abstract leaf shapes and patterns make each piece uniquely different. Each is…
An interesting, enigmatic, little dish, this. Attributed at acquisition to ceramicist, Meg Potter, there isn’t a great deal of information about her other than she was born in 1944. A signature detail in her work is the smoke fired finish of her ceramics which leave blackened, charred marks on the surface and you can see that here on this organic,…
Made in the 1950’s by Hanovia, here is a Sollux H8A freestanding electric heater, repurposed wonderfully to become an unusual, industrial statement floor lamp that can be wheeled into position on its elevated triform base. The lamp can be angled with the cantilever weight and the anodised domed lampshade itself has a high polish interior to diffuse and reflect the…
From another time, these stoneware bottles were filled with hot water and used to warm your feet or your bed (or both!). It’s the original hot water bottle used from Victorian times through to the 1950s until flat rubber ones came along. This two pint bottle comes in great order with its original stopper in place. It was made by…
