Large Mushroom Colour Brass Gooseneck Maclamp Table Lamp

Jon Nix — Wed, 21 Jun 2023 11:36:39 +0000

A brass gooseneck desk or table lamp made by Maclamp which probably dates from the early 1970s in a familiar mushroom colour (a dark cream tone, if you prefer) which is quite notable for its size. Much larger than some of the Maclamps of the period, this particular model stands almost 60cm (24 in.) tall when the neck is extended vertically. Also of note is that the gooseneck on this lamp also extends all the way from the shade to the base - there is no rigid portion at all. The lamp has a standard Maclamp base (approximately 15cm / 6 in. in diameter) with a switch, and over 2m (6 ft) of cable.

In very good condition with just some minor signs of age and wear. The lamp takes a standard "bayonet" style bulb,

A large - 28 cm / 11 in. tall - vase made by Lotus Studio Pottery of Stoke Gabriel in Devon. More famous for their stylised bulls, this vase also features the trademark dark sage colour and speckled blue-grey tone of their work in the 1970s, but with a leaf or petal design, almost fern-like, running vertically from the base. The vase is ribbed horizontally and has a slender pinch about two-thirds down from the rim. These aspects and the glaze provides much play of light on the surface.

A great piece for the collector of Lotus pottery the vase in execllent condition with no discernible defects. The piece is stamped to the base with the Lotus Pottery mark.

Vintage Classic Style Wooden Desk Letter Rack or Desktop Organiser

Jon Nix — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 11:03:11 +0000

A large classically styled wooden desk organiser or letter rack which is of no meagre proportions, the width measuring 39cm (15½ in.), the height 18cm (7 in.) and depth 10.5cm (4 in.), and with three useful compartments for storage of papers etc., each about 2.5cm (1 in.) in depth. It seems to be of a ply construction with possible oak veneer for the surface. It looks the part, with its curved compartment dividers and side pieces - a little bit Art Deco, if we may be so bold, although we cannot age the letter rack with any certainty.

This one has no chips or cracks, however, it does have some ink staining. It's character, we say, but if you want a pristine-looking item then you should give this item a miss. The ink staining is apparent to the right front corner and left hand side panel. We like it, we've made no attempt to remove it. It's a part of this item's history, so whilst we have cleaned and rejuvenated the wood more generally, we are happy to leave it otherwise.

Very Large West German Schlossberg Keramik “Staufen” Vase

Jon Nix — Fri, 07 Sep 2018 16:58:04 +0000

Coming in at a whopping 36cm high, this Schlossberg Keramik vase made in the early 1960s in West Germany, is as much a piece of sculpture as it is a ceramic item. Decorated in the "Staufen" design it is a visually stunning piece with a dark grey striped ground punctuated by raised white lines and panels of colour: red, yellow and a greenish-blue. It's an eye-catching design with an Atomic style, slightly bulging middle and curved rim and at the size that it is, it would certainly make an impact in anyone's home.

The vase is in excellent unchipped and uncracked condition. There are some very minor blemishes and one section of vertical white stripe is slightly lacking towards the top, but this appears to be from the original manufacturing process rather than anything that happened to the vase subsequently.

The base has the Schlossberg mark on it and the form number impressed into it. The mark is not absolutely distinct - it would seem to be "101/36" but we could be mistaken about that.

We welcome offers on this outstanding and unusual piece and are happy to discuss price and shipping/collection options with any interested parties.

Large Handmade Female Puppet Indian Rajasthani

Jon Nix — Wed, 01 Aug 2018 16:36:04 +0000

A very large (56cm / 22 in. from head to hem of costume) handmade costumed puppet in the traditional style of Rajasthan, India. This one in particular is a female character seemingly a dancer, superbly rendered in wood and paint with a colourful costume of predominantly black, red and yellow. She has all the hallmarks of a dancing figure - with hands position, the jewelry and headdress being key. The details are very difficult to capture - in particular the carving and painting of the headdress is very impressive indeed. It is held by way of a central wooden rod and controllable via wires connected to the arms rather than being a kathputli or stringed puppet.

Overall in good condition, but it is obviously of some age and has been much used - there is obvious wear and tear to parts of the head in particular and she is missing a "pom-pom" earring one side (the wire is there but the red wool is not - easily remedied we feel). She is, however, a striking item and might interest someone with a love for puppetry, a passion for India, or just wants something very different in their home.

Large Handmade Male Musician Puppet Indian Rajasthani

Jon Nix — Wed, 01 Aug 2018 16:19:56 +0000

A very large (56cm / 22 in. from head to hem of costume) handmade costumed puppet in the traditional style of Rajasthan, India. This one in particular is a Male musician character all superbly rendered in wood and paint with a colourful costume of yellow, blue, purple and pink. He appears to be playing a sarangi or dilruba instrument which might indicate a Sikh reference along with the headwear. The details are very difficult to capture and the intricacy of the costume is quite stunning, consisting of complicated stitching, sequins and varied materials. It is held by way of a central wooden rod and controllable via wires connected to the arms rather than being a kathputli or stringed puppet.
