HARALD NOTINI (SWEDEN, 1879-1959)

Gilt metal, scallop edge shade, plastic stem
Manufactured by Arvid Böhlmarks lampfabrik, Sweden
35cm high
Literature
Arvid Böhlmarks lampfabrik catalogue, 1942
Condition Report:
In nice "antique" condition.
The patina is quite tarnished to the shade and base, but this is stylistically nice and sympathetic to the age and natural wear of the finish. There is a darker patch to the back of the shade (out of view).
The shade slots on to its lamp base easily enough, the fixing is there, but is likely missing its tightening fixing part, so goes on but currently sits at a dipped angle.
The shade is very worn and marked to the underside.
Please see additional images provided.

Condition Report:
Two of the three dolphins are off the stem, one is an older break with old adhesive and this fish itself has been in two, and re-glued, both fish have missing extremities but there are two additional fin pieces to be re-attached also. The base and stem are in very good condition. There is an original metal shade beneath the fabric/fringed shade. There are a couple of tiny dents to the metal band around the foot. It is a very solid lamp. The piece requires professional glass restoration, but then it could be really something! Please see additional images.

JEREMY MAXWELL WINTREBERT STUDIO (FRENCH, FD.2015)
FIVE 'CLOUD' HANGING LIGHTS; 2017
Handblown glass, filigree detail, brass; all opal white - two blue, two pencil and one red filigree finish
Each with acid-etched manufacturer's mark and ' cloud ' to pendant rim
Customisable hang by attaching pendant to different rods
Smallest rod: 125cm long
Longest rod: 224cm long
Each pendant: 45cm long, 50cm wide (approx. due to unique finish)
Provenance:
A bespoke London villa by international interior designer Jean-Louis Deniot
Cloud is a free-blown glass sculpture crafted by artisans in JMW Studio's Paris atelier. Its form is shaped by blowing molten glass into a brass 'nest', temporarily set onto the surface while the material remains in motion and later removed. This process results in a sculpture of sensual, seemingly simple contours. On closer inspection, subtle tonal filigrees emerge, a complex technique in which patterns are woven into the glass, revealing, as founder Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert describes, "the story of the cloud's underlying complexity."
Condition Report:
These are really quite something and display beautifully. Four out of five of the shades are in perfect condition. Unfortunately one "cloud" in cracked (with the pink stripe), it is whole but very weakened, we would advise it is restored before safe installation. Please see additional images provided.

JESSE SMALL (AMERICAN, B.1974)
'PLAYER 1' CHANDELIER; DESIGNED 2008
Cut steel and gilt lustre fired porcelain
320cm hang, 200cm diameter
Jesse Small, originally from Los Angeles and currently the artist in residence at the Angels Gate Cultural Centre in San Pedro, California, is recognised for his inventive use of metal across public art, architecture and design. Player 1 , a chandelier conceived in 2008, continues this exploration of material and ornament. Cut steel is worked into a dense, branching structure, animated with gilt-lustre porcelain lights that fuse fragility with strength. In Small's words, it "exposes the rules of decoration by inserting some oddity into classic forms."
Reflecting on the piece with his students, he remarked that "it's easy to ignore a sculpture on a pedestal or the floor. But with a chandelier, everyone looks up." This reorientation of attention places Player 1 within a wider contemporary dialogue, alongside artists such as Jorge Pardo, Ingo Maurer and Cerith Wyn Evans, who have similarly reimagined the chandelier as both sculpture and spatial intervention.
Condition Report:
The sculptural chandelier is in very good condition. No breaks or losses. The 50 high-fire porcelain pieces with a variety of silver and gold lustre, some mixed, some decorated with the vintage space invaders pattern - hence 'Player 1'. All metal elements in excellent condition with even, intended mottled, matt silver finish. It should be noted that the piece has no lighting fitments or fittings. A single light blub could be suspended through the centre, to make it a light, or an expert could look at a variety of ways to light it at the point of installation.

λ STUART HAYGARTH (BRITISH, B.1966) 'TIDE' CHANDELIER; 2013 Found plastic objects, monofilament line, painted MDF ceiling platform Brass plaque impressed ' STUART HAYGARTH 3/5, 2013 110cm x 100cm ceiling, 170cm drop from canopy to top of chandelier, 280cm total height
Literature Design Contre Design , exh. cat., Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais, Paris, 2007, p. 319 Mark McMenamin and Meghan Edwards, 'Design Wire', Interior Design, November 2009, p. 35 Libby Sellers, Why What How: Collecting Design in a Contemporary Market, London, 2010, p. 101
Tide is composed of debris collected from the Kent coastline at Dungeness, including discarded cutlery, protractors and shuttlecocks, alongside other fragments of everyday plastic, reflecting the scale and persistence of marine pollution. No two items are alike in shape, scale or origin, yet they are assembled into a single, unified sphere. The spherical form echoes the moon, whose gravitational pull governs the tides that carry plastic back to shore.
The work can be understood as an act of reclamation, repurposing discarded materials into a resolved and visually compelling whole.
