New Retail Space

The shop is starting to take shape. Some nice stock to launch on Tuesday but it's good size space that we will grow in to over the coming months.
As you can see the window graphics look fantastic, thanks to Mark & Matt at Cooper Signs.

Leather Swivel Chairs

Stunning pair of Danish buttoned leather swivel chairs with bent plywood arms and five pronged chrome 360° swivel bases. No makers mark but I believe them to be Scandinavian in design.
Picked them up this morning in fantastic condition, just in time fore the shop launch on Tuesday 24th April.
£149.99 each.

New Retail Space

Got the keys to the new mid20c shop this morning and I'm really looking forward to retailing again.

Going to take about two weeks to get the place painted and fitted out. Then a few more days to get the stock in and displayed.
The address is:

27 Green Lane 

Redruth
TR15 1JZ

I will post updates over the next week or two.

Bernard Rooke Lamp

I've just purchased this stunning early lamp base by Bernard Rooke.
The lamp has three sections with a stylised runic design with a vibrant blue glass circle to the centre block. This range dates from the early 60's when he worked with Alan Wallwork and was retailed through Heals in the West End of London.

Bernard Rooke was born in 1938 and studied at the Ipswich School of Art before moving on to the Goldsmiths College, London. It was here, in his last year, that he decided to take up pottery.
In 1960 he set up his own workshop in Forest Hill in London, sharing the premises with Alan Wallwork and Robert & Sheila Fournier. In 1963 the pottery moved to larger premises in Greenwich but he soon out grew these premises. Moving again in 1967 to a huge mill building in Swilland near Ipswich in Suffolk where he went on to produce the more scultural pottery that is more often seen.
