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.

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.

TABLE LAMP TC0124

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 civilisations.

Inspired by ancient Greek and Roman olive jars, this vase has a soothing curved form. It is given a simple yet sophisticated finish with distinctive etched lines and a lightly crackled surface.

Based on an original antique, this lantern is 1930’s in feel. Exquisitely handcrafted, it is one of our most charming pieces. Lost wax casting produces the detailed brass work. Also available as an existing product in a smaller size CL0212.BR.

CONSOLE TABLE FT0116.TAS

A compelling, minimalist design, this table stands out with its clean lines and taupe faux shagreen finish. The initial inspiration for it came from a traditional Ming piece of furniture, a period renowned for its emphasis on simplicity of form.

A neat and satisfying design, this side table has a classic hexagonal shape to it, which is given a contemporary twist thanks to the addition of faux shagreen. Available in either taupe or brown.

EXTON MIRROR FM0052.BR

Inspired by a 1940’s design, this large rectangular mirror is embellished with a decorative sunburst effect. Contemporary and understated, the mirror has a light, flowing form. Also available as an existing product in a round shape FM0017.BR.

WALLIS WASTE PAPER BASKET FW0008.TAS

Inspired by an antique design, this taupe faux shagreen waste paper basket has a fluid, tapered line and comes with the practical component of a removeable inner liner.

SAVOY MIRROR FM0054.TAS

Based on an early 18th century design, this taupe mirror is elegant in form and given a contemporary flair thanks to the use of faux shagreen. It is finished with a white decorative line applied around the frame.

A delightful combination of wood and shagreen, the design for this etagere came from an original antique. Available in two sizes, the wood neatly frames the brown faux shagreen, giving a decidedly contemporary feel to a more classic design.
