The Apothecary Table Lamp – Viburnum
The Apothecary Table Lamp is hand painted by artist Sophie Coryndon in her Sussex studio. The design is inspired by Moorish earthenware jars known as Albarelli. These jars were used to hold ointments, medicines and even gunpowder and became popular in Italian apothecaries in the 15th century. To differentiate their contents the jars were painted with individual designs which Sophie references in the artwork of each lamp.
Each of Sophie’s designs is limited to an edition of 30 with names which allude to their original medicinal contents. The lively calligraphic scrolls that pattern this design are named for the sweetly scented viburnum plant, traditionally used to treat a variety of ailments and celebrated for its anti-inflammatory properties.
This limited edition turned tulipwood table lamp comes with an 11” cream card shade included.
