Product Description
ROSE UNIACKE EDITIONS
This lovely silver lamp, like a shy flower, with its modestly bowed shade, is lightly influenced by the art nouveau movement, which took so much of its inspiration from natural forms. It is based on a simple line-drawing by Rose, of a single-stemmed flower, with its slender, curved stem, nodding blossom, and feminine base.
Made of spun brass, using a technique first perfected by the ancient Egyptians, the lamp is hand-planished and plated with silver by Sheffield’s only remaining silver hammerer. The surface finish is dimpled, giving a softness to the way it reflects light, like breeze-ruffled water, implying the possibility of change and perfectly chiming with the natural forms of its initial inspiration. In keeping with this idea of nature and change, the lamp is an important part of our ‘living surfaces’ narrative, for which, the intention is to allow the silver to patinate; gently taking on, over time, a warm and complex antique tone.
The interior of the shade is also gilded with 23-carat gold. This hidden surprise delivers a wonderful golden ambience once lit which is operated by a single push switch on its base.
