Vintage Slate and Teakwood Studio Craft Floor Lamp by Harspwell House
$1,600.00Vintage floor lamp (shade is not included) composed of a rectangular teak column supported by a footed rectangular base constructed using Harpswell House’s patented process of laminating inlaid wood (teak in this case) with ‘300 million year old’ black slate (Maine, USA).
Though unlabeled, the base is undoubtedly Harpswell House who, in addition to small household items, sold table lamps in inlaid wood and slate. This floor version is believed to be a custom order circa 1964-65. No other floor lamp examples have been documented.
Handsome, studio craft piece in the New Hope Style of woodworkers including Phillip Lloyd Powell and Emil Milan, who crafted minimalistic designs from indigenous woods to showcase the materials. The modest form of the lamp pairs nicely with the vibrant grain of the wood and the sleek color and material contrast of the slate.
Very good, conservatively refinished condition; spots/scuffs to the wood and slate remain, and one small chip is present to the wood directly above the base on one side.
Shade is for demonstration only and is not included, though the lamp with the shade measures H: 63″ x Diameter: 14″ (for perspective only)
Lamp height (teak stem and slate base alone): 48.63″
Lamp height (socket): 50.75″

Vintage Standing Replogle World Globe on Tubular Brass Base
Vintage Replogle globe supported by a tubular brass standing base (ca. 1980, USA). Globe floats in the brass cradle, its view unobstructed by the meridian bar which can be manually moved but does not stay positioned upright by design.
12″ relief-style globe itself is composed of paper gores over board. Dated between 1979 and 1983 given the presence of Zimbabwe, Upper Volta, and The Ivory Coast.
There are small patches of paper loss to the globe, as shown, along with patina/light tarnish to the brass. Overall, a lovely decorative object that is as stylish as it is instructional that remains in very good, original condition.
Often mis-attributed to Paul Mccobb, given its use in his product advertising and the similarity in style to some of his brass table bases.

Vintage Studio Pottery Blue Ombré Planter by Deanna Nichols
$850.00Studio ceramic planter by ceramicist, Deanna Nichols (b. 1942-2017, Missouri).
Holding a BFA from Kansas City Art Institute (1965) and an MFA from Claremont Graduate University in California (1967), Nichols was educated in painting and complex pottery making techniques at an academic level and later served as an educator at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs, Southwestern College in Chula Vista, CA, and The Chrysler Museum School in Norfolk, VA.
The second floor of the new student center at Kansas City Art Institute is named for Nichols (see image).
This piece dates to the early 1990s, based on the signature “D. Nichols,” which she used during that era and features a blue ombré pattern, beginning at the base with only a tinge of blue and deepening near the rim. Attractive color palette, sculptural bulbous-form, and incised linear decoration.
From the family of Deanna Nichols’ personal collection of her pieces.
“I fell under the spell of the wheel, loving the physical beauty of the moves required to form clay and the sense of peace that came from throwing. Function has always been the thing that made it work for me. That and the people who take the pieces into their lives and make it all relevant. Should this lump of clay become a vessel and Should it dry without crack, Fire without flaw and Serve without breaking, Then may it claim For its maker A tiny bit of immortality.” – Deanna Nichols, 2008
