A celebration of our contemporary English style, the hand sculpted Charleston sconce speaks to the irreverent decorative spirit of Bloomsbury, infused with the formal restraint and symmetrical lines of Neo classical design. The expressive Charleston sconce is a pared back, compelling piece, equally at home in country houses and minimalist modern interiors.
The Charleston is a contemporary design with grand historic resonance, where hand sculpted marks breathe warmth into the clean lines of the balanced form. Martin chooses to work in plaster for its affinity with expressiveness and fluidity, allowing his textural marks, and the simple lines of his symmetrical design to suggest the energy between sculptor and material.
Martin's design emphasises the flattened form and simplified geometric shape of the sconce, with the subtly contoured sides meeting at the base with a simple disc. Simplicity, honesty of materials and purity of line make this an harmonious piece.
The Charleston sconce is hand made to order at our Sussex Studio.
