The lamp comprises a conical base with the top of the cone truncated. The base houses the switch, a battery compartment and an AC adaptor socket, whilst it is also slightly hollowed to allow the shade to sit in it when the folding arm is positioned appropriately. This transforms the whole lamp into a torch-like object, with the arm now appearing more like a handle, whilst the light itself can be used almost as a lantern when in this configuration. Otherwise, the three joints - one at the base, one at an "elbow" about halfway up the arm, and another just before the shade - allow the shade to be positioned as per a normal lamp.

Inside the shade is a small fluorescent tube which gives off a pleasing light and the cylindrical shade itself can be rotated to direct light where required. The images show a variety of the positions into which the lamp and shade can be placed.

In its most compact form, the lamp measures approximately 25 cm in height (10 in.). The base has a diamater of 11 cm (4½ in.) and a height of 6cm (2¼ in.), whilst the shade is 19cm (7½ in.) long.

In good working condition, though it has not been tested with an AC adaptor. The plastics have some minor signs of use (superficial scratches, etc.) but no chips or cracks.  If one was to be very picky, one would say the white plastics have yellowed slightly from their original bright white. The battery compartment (4 "AA" size batteries are used for operation) is clean.

It features - on the top surface - Fornasetti's trademark black and white illustrative style, depicting various pistols, revolvers, muskets and powder pouches, surrounded by an imitated rivet design, whilst the underneath is a faux wood effect. Both surfaces have significant wear and loss and some discoloration (please review photos carefully) and there is notable handling wear to one corner where the tray has been frequently held.

The tray is a rounded square approximately 33cm by 33cm (11 in. by 11 in.) with a depth of approximately 2cm (¾ in.).

Hamon's "Jewels of Okarito" from 1976 was presented by the New Zealand government to Queen Elizabeth II on her state visit, and forms one of the pair. "Return to Still Waters" from 1978 completes the couple. Both have been signed - with the latter including an indication of its edition number (128) and date in the same hand.

In good condition with some minor discoloration to the prints due to age, these are fine examples of the artist's exhaustive work on the flora and fauna of New Zealand, of pointillist technique specificially, and of sympathetic landscape art in general.

The prints are displayed inside apertures measuring 28.5 cm by 22.5 cm (11¼ in. by 8¾ in. approx.). The frames measure 46.5 cm by 40 cm (18 in. by 15¾ in. approx.). The mounts are a complementary dark grey colour. The prints are being sold as a pair but please get in touch if  you would like to purchase one of them as an individual piece.

The chair is in original unrestored visual condition, with ageing and wear to the vinyl (notably for some reason to the green stripes which are much subtler than they would have been) but we have refreshed the padding with new foam to the seat and backrest so that it is at least a lot more functional and comfortable than when it came to us!  There is a small tear to the vinyl on the front side of the seat (pictured) which doesn't affect the look of the chair in any way and we don't think it will deteriorate further.  The chair is structurally very solid, so if a purchaser would prefer to completely re-cover the chair, then it's on a firm foundation that they would be doing so.

Dimensions:

Chair Height: 76cm
Chair Max. Width: 46cm
