About This Piece

Vintage Design

Gourd-shaped ceramic table lamp by Georges Pelletier (circa 1970s) for La Roue. Distinctive and charming lamp with pink and magenta highlights with a gold-lustre craquelure at the pinnacle, a trademark of Pelletier. The light which emanates is atmospheric particularly as it is reflected off of the gold craquelure. Quintessential Pelletier and a true collector's item for connoisseurs of this master. In good overall condition. Signed: 'Pelletier La Roue Vallauris (France)'. Currently wired for use in the EU but an adapter allows use almost everywhere. Lampshade for display only and not part of sale. Upon request a video will be provided. About the Artist : Georges Pelletier was born in Brussels, Belgium in 1938. He started his training at the Academy Charpentier in Paris (School of Arts and Crafts) in the building which is now the Picasso Museum. After that period, Pelletier worked at the Atelier Claude Pantzer, the renowned Accolay pottery. In 1961 the artist opened his own studio in Paris where he created his first unique pieces. His work was noted by the Bobois furniture house for his evident creativity and talent and was subsequently asked to supply Roche Bobois with their lighting collections between 1961 and 1973. In 1973 Pelletier followed the sun to the South of France in the city of Cannes where he set up a new workshop where he is still active today. La Roue opened in 1962 and was run by Alexandre and Betty Fadas. La Roue was a studio which sold ceramics in the town of Vallauris in the South of France. Its wares were made by various potters and artisans in the area. Amongst those potters whose work was sold by La Roue were well known master ceramicists, Robert Picault and Georges Pelletier. There were a number of other contributors, many of whom sold work unsigned by themselves but under the La Roue umbrella. La Roue had a reputation for making the highest quality and most original ceramics in its day.
