Jenny Worrall has long been established as a designer for quintessentially English table lamps. Beautiful handmade glass bases are made with care and attention that sees them worthy of the claim that they are ‘antiques of the future’. Beautiful and timeless, they add a charismatic addition to traditional and modern settings alike.
Jenny and her team utilise a traditional skill which was first implemented in the Victorian era called Potichomania. Each base starts as a flawless piece of mouth-blown glass, blown to Jenny’s exacting specification which creates an ethereal depth to the images that are to be placed within.
A sketched design is loosely attached to the inside of the glass which creates the master sample. Following this, it is set on a template and printed, before the skilled craftsmen then use scalpels to cut out the design with meticulous precision. The decoupage images are then placed within the glass base, following a grid system based on the master sample to ensure that each and every decal is perfectly placed.
When this process is finalised, artists then hand paint the exquisite and intricate details of the design, which are painstakingly brushed with care which guarantees each lamp is a unique work of art. The finishing flourish is the pot being placed on a soft, warm metallic tone plinth with matching lamp holder for a premium quality finish.
The inspiration of the designs are inspired by the beauty of nature and the English countryside. Emboldened by the archives of the Royal Horticultural Society, many feature botanicals which are realistically recreated for an authentic look.
Along with botanical themes, wildlife will make a subtle appearance in some which adds further interest. The overall sheen of the table lamp bases is pearlescent, complimenting the paint techniques by adding a three dimensional depth which draws the eye in, making these an addition to cherish for years to come.
