Standing an imposing 202 cm high, the lamp has considerable presence and embodies the Arts and Crafts emphasis on honest materials, functional design and quality craftsmanship. The substantial oak standard provides a strong architectural silhouette, while the restrained design allows the natural character of the timber to remain the principal decorative feature. Particularly appealing is the oak itself, displaying pronounced natural grain and attractive figuring throughout. Rich, warm tones and an established patina give the timber considerable depth and character, highlighting the craftsmanship and age of the piece. The lamp is supported upon a substantial square-form base measuring 41.5 cm across, providing excellent stability while complementing the strong geometric character associated with Arts and Crafts furniture. A classic white fabric shade completes the composition, providing an elegant contrast against the warm oak and creating a soft, inviting ambient light when illuminated. Importantly, the lamp is fully functional and has been PAT tested, allowing it to be incorporated immediately into a contemporary interior while retaining its antique character. Very well constructed and presented in very good antique condition, with appropriate signs of age and use consistent with its early 20th-century origin. with its exceptional 202 cm height, beautifully figured oak and restrained Arts and Crafts aesthetic, this is a particularly striking statement light. Ideally suited to a drawing room, library, study, entrance hall or sophisticated country-house interior. Dimensions: Height: 202 cm Width: 57 cm Depth: 57 cm Base: Width: 41.5 cm Depth: 41.5 cm
