The Pedestal Bespoke Bone china and porcelain lights by

Margaret O’Rorke The selection will be on exhibition and available to buy or commission during the pre-auction view of Design For Living.

The Pedestal’s Bespoke range offers unique, beautifully designed and produced objects by British craftspeople.

For over 40 years Margaret O’Rorke has been captivated by the translucence of bone china and porcelain when lit from within and this fascination has informed her works in their wide ranging designs and highly imaginative forms throughout her career.

Margaret initially studied Fine Art at Chelsea School of Art and afterwards she spent a year at Camberwell School of Art where Dame Lucie Rie was one of her tutors in ceramics. Dame Lucie was one of the first people to see Margaret’s early porcelain lights, and her support and encouragement helped to set Margaret on her creative path.

Cylinders and Suspended Pods take their inspiration from Margaret’s travels in both manmade and natural environments, for the first, the skyscraper skyline of Osaka, and, the second, the resilient native flora of the Australian outback.

Whereas in Whirling Dervish and Curled Light Sculpture fine porcelain thrown on her wheel is then twisted and turned into structures with movement and energy. Conus & Trochus and Moon lights simply demonstrate that illuminated porcelain provides not only an enchanting source of light, but also warm focal point to domestic and commercial interiors alike. Finally, in Waves fine porcelain bands come together to form an elegant structure of harmonious and calming undulating ribbons.

CYLINDERS Free-standing thrown lit porcelain light sculpture The inspiration for Cylinders originated many years ago. Margaret O’Rorke was in Osaka, Japan, high up in a dramatic skyscraper hotel looking down onto the crowded city below. It was the first time she had been in a skyscraper. When back home in her studio she thought, “what will happen if I throw a lot of cylinders, all different heights, just as I had seen from the skyscraper?”. Margaret joined the cylinders together and found a way to disguise a light inside.

This is her own interpretation of Osaka as seen from above.

Dimensions, height: 200mm, diameter: 480mm Price: £6,000

WHIRLING DERVISH The thrown fine porcelain is cut with a waving wire from the potters wheel, twisted, turned and joined, giving the feeling of Whirling Dervishes.

The black thrown ceramic base holds the G9 lamp holder and lamp.

Dimensions, height: approx. 170mm, diameter: 130mm Price: £500

CONUS & TROCHUS Conus & Trochus: cast translucent porcelain re-chargeable table lights. Conus, height: 150mm, diameter: 110mm; Trochus, height: 150mm, diameter: 140mm Margaret O’Rorke has combined all her experience to create porcelain re-chargeable table lights suitable for the hospitality industry and the home. They can be placed anywhere, both indoors and outdoors, and give a natural focus, for example, enhancing a dinner table and creating a focus to a gathering.

The induction battery will last up to 16 hours.

Conus and Trochus are both created from a thrown clay cone shape which is then fluted.

Price: each £270

WAVES Thrown, reformed and joined translucent porcelain lit wall sculpture.

The translucent porcelain lit wall sculpture is wheel-thrown. Fine porcelain bands are reformed and joined onto one flat thrown circular band to form a single stable structure and fired to 1,300°C. A metal backing plate with electrical fittings supports the lit translucent porcelain form.

Dimensions, diameter: 500mm, height: 200mm, depth: 140mm Price: £2,975

CURLED LIGHT SCULPTURE Free-standing, small thrown porcelain cut, twisted and joined light sculpture on a thrown ceramic black base.

Dimensions, height: 240mm Price: £300

MOON LIGHTS Translucent bone china pendant Moon lights are cast from the forms of Margaret O’Rorke’s handcrafted inspirations which begin on the potter’s wheel. The form of the light comes about by letting the nature of the bone china material take its own course when on the wheel the clay is thrown as thinly as possible.

Margaret is currently working with the finest skilled porcelain and bone china manufacturers to develop new lighting concepts and aesthetics. Hitherto, these materials have not been regarded as material for lighting made on a large scale.

Moon lights can be suspended singly or arranged in groups of three or more.

Dimensions, height: 150mm, depth: 160mm Price: each £250 MOON LIGHTS Iis also available as a free standing lamp Price: each £325

SUSPENDED PODS Five different pairs of cast translucent white porcelain pods suspended on an adjustable 12-volt track system. Each pair of pods: diameter: 190mm, depth: 140mm The light cast by Suspended Pods onto the nearby wall forms part of this original lighting concept and becomes an integral part of an interior living space. Designed for both commercial and domestic settings. The height of the five pairs of pods can be customised to the client’s specification.

On a visit to Australia in 1997, Margaret O’Rorke was captivated by the exquisite native plants which thrive in challenging environments and grow from stony, arid ground. On her return to the UK she explored the pod form, and fascinated by the possibilities of the 12volt track system, she devised forms which could be strung across a room or a dining table without the need to install electrical fittings. A vertical hanging system soon followed, and as Margaret always aims to disguise the engineering and electrical fittings, here double sided forms are suspended on an invisible thrown porcelain support.

Price: £4,450

When we offer items for consignment at auction, we will usually include in the auction listing a description of the lot and an estimate of potential sale value. Upon request we may also supply a condition report, which will be based on a visual inspection of each lot without disassembly or further investigation of physical condition, and on information available to us at the time. All information is provided after due consideration and to the best of our knowledge and experience, but cannot be taken as a statement of fact, a guarantee or statement of value or a guarantee or statement that mechanical or electrical parts are functioning correctly or at all.

All measurements provided are approximate. Colours of any image depicted in any printed catalogue, on our website or otherwise may not appear the same as colours perceived on physical inspection.

Lots offered for sale will be available for viewing in person at such place and times as are advertised before the auction. We always recommend inspection in person.

A registration form will be available on our website, at the auction or upon request and must be completed in advance of the auction by anyone wishing to bid. You may will be required to provide proof of identity and proof of address unless you are already known to us and have previously done so. A separate fee will be levied and separate registration will be required for online bidding, whether on our own or a third party platform.

FOR SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS ON OUR ONLINE BIDDING PLATFORM (THE PEDESTAL LIVE) A CHARGE OF 3% PLUS VAT WILL BE LEVIED WHICH IS ADDITIONAL TO OUR BUYER’S PREMIUM (SEE CLAUSE 15) Commission bids may be refused unless they have been entered on our registration form and accepted in advance of the auction.

We may at our discretion accept bids from someone acting on behalf of a third party, subject to receiving a letter of authorisation which is satisfactory to us. In the event that such a bid is successful we reserve the right to treat either the bidder or the third party as the successful bidder for all purposes including as regards obtaining payment for the lot.

Auctions are conducted according to our discretion and that of our auctioneer. We may refuse to allow access to the auction, refuse or accept any bid, alter the order of lots and/or the bidding in such way as we think best, withdraw any lot, reopen bidding after the hammer has fallen, determine who is the successful bidder, cancel the sale of any lot or otherwise regulate the auction and all associated proceedings as we deem most appropriate.

We will not in any event be liable for any failure to take a bid whether caused by breakdown of communications technology or otherwise.

Both the auction as a whole and calls used for telephone bids may be recorded and such recordings may be retained by us and by participating in the same you consent to such recording and retention.

Most lots are offered subject to a reserve below which the lot will not be sold. The level of the reserve is confidential between ourselves and our seller but will not be higher than the lower estimate.

We may enter one or more bids consecutively or otherwise on behalf of the seller up to but not beyond the level of the reserve.

Subject only to the auctioneer’s discretion set out in clause 9 above, when the auctioneer’s hammer falls no further bids will be accepted and a contract for sale is formed between the successful bidder and ourselves as agent for the seller.

If you believe that you are the successful bidder for any lot but have not heard from us within three working days of the auction we recommend that you contact us to arrange collection and avoid potential storage charges.

We will charge a buyer’s fee of 25% on the first £50,000 of the hammer price of each lot, and 20% of any portion of such hammer price which is above £50,000, plus VAT. Payment for each lot which you have purchased including all associated fees, charges and taxes is due no later than 7 calendar days after the auction. Payment can be made only by the registered bidder. Payment instructions will be given on the relevant invoice or invoices. Please note that we do not accept payment by credit card.

No lot will be released and legal title will not pass to you until we have received due payment in full of all sums owed to us by you.

If you fail to make due payment for any lot we may, at our discretion and without limitation to other available remedies, bring legal proceedings against you for the unpaid sum and all associated fees and costs including professional fees (“Unpaid Sums”); retain and sell ourselves or otherwise any other lots held by us which are your property or any sums otherwise payable by us to you and use such proceeds or sums to defray the Unpaid Sums; cancel the sale, re-offer the lot and claim any shortfall and any associated costs from you; and/or pass your identity and contact details to the seller so that they can pursue legal remedies against you directly.

Additionally if you are a business customer, interest on late payments may be charged at 8% above our bank’s base rate from time to time.

All lots must be collected from our shipper as notified to you in the auction catalogue and otherwise, within 14 days after the auction.

Any lots not collected within 90 days after the auction may be sold by us at our discretion, with the proceeds applied to cover all Unpaid Sums including storage and handling charges. In this event any surplus will be paid over to you, and we will claim any shortfall from you as an Unpaid Sum. A lot which has been collected from our warehouse by you or a shipper acting on your behalf is deemed to have been delivered to you by us at the time of such collection.
