VAUGHAN THE ELTHAM COLLECTION
VAUGHAN
THE ELTHAM COLLECTION
A selection of products, based on early 20th century design, featuring four new table lamps, and five pieces of faux shagreen furniture, it continues Vaughan’s longstanding theme of creating products rooted in antiques, but then given a contemporary edge.
Lucy Vaughan, chairman and co-founder of Vaughan, recalls how the collection came into existence:
“Fromadmiringmygrandmother’smonogrammed boxes,toprofessionallytakinganinterestinmytime asanantiquedealer,shagreenhasaparticularly specialplaceinmyheart. Pairedwiththelights,it encapsulatesallthatIloveaboutearly20thcentury design,withitsemphasisonsimplicity,purityofline andsubtletyofform.”
A contemporary shape, reminiscent of American skyscrapers, this table lamp has a crisp line to it. The profile and applied decoration have an affinity to Axumite obelisks from 4th century Ethiopia.
HUDSON TABLE LAMP TM0100.BR
Based on an antique original, this playful design takes its inspiration from the work of the mid 20th century. Its bright pop of colour makes it an impactful, statement piece.
SHOREHAM TABLE LAMP TC0131
Based on an early 20th century original, this vase is decorated with flowing swirl motifs to give it a wonderful textured feel. The non-uniform colour adds a sophisticated element to the aesthetic. The bas relief harks back to Greek, Roman and other ancient civilizations.

HOLDEN TABLE LAMP TC0125
