This is only the eighth example known to exist. The lamp consists of a blown glass shade in the form of an owl’s head with piercing yellow eyes with large pupils. The shade rests upon a detailed bronze full bodied owl figural base (estimate $40,000-$60,000).

The lamp rests on an original “Onion” style bronze table base finished in a rich brown-green patina that it shares with the metalwork on the shade. Both are signed.

When Rachael Powell was unable to find a lampshade that suited her taste, she turned her hand at making them herself. 

‘Most of the lampshades on offer were bland and uninteresting,’ she says. ‘I wanted something contemporary, vintage and quirky all at the same time. It doesn’t worry me about matching things around the home, if I like it, I like it.’ 

Powell, from Somerset, decided to take a sewing class and from there she started experimenting with different lampshade shapes and designs. Word soon spread and before long she was taking orders from friends and family. ‘My friends were really supportive and loved what I produced. There was no clear favourite design as different people like different things,The world’s most efficient and cost effective solar street lighting? but my Scandinavian Tilda designs proved very popular.’
