Table Lamp #3
Nils Kähler, Denmark
1960s

£750

Description:

A stoneware table lamp designed by Nils Kähler for Herman A. Kähler Keramik, the family workshop founded by his great grandfather in 1839 and which he, "the young Kahler", took over in 1940 with his brother, Herman Jørgen Kähler, in 1940. 

Designed by Nils Kahler, the base of this piece is covered by a vivid yellow glaze, an ocher tending to a Naples yellow, which skims the herringbone texture incised into the ceramic. 

This balance of glazed and unglazed areas is typical of Kahler table lamps from this period, and can also be seen on a similar table lamp here. 

The lamp has been fully rewired with a UK standard plug and black, antique-style electrical cord. The lamp also includes a lightly textured cotton-linen blend lampshade. 

Measurements refer to the diameter of the lamp base without shade.

Specifications:

Base diameter: 11cm

Height: 36cm

Diameter of shade: 25cm
