Royal Delft White Vintage Table Lamps, House of Hackney Lampshades – Hollyhocks
Meet Hollyhocks, a one-of-a-kind pair of lamps lovingly handcrafted from vintage Royal Delft (De Porceleyne Fles) White (Delfts Wit) vases. Named after hollyhock flowers, these lamps pair the unique Delft vase bases with lampshades in the exquisite Hollyhocks—Spring fabric from British luxury brand, and proud B-Corp, House of Hackney. The fabric design, inspired by the lush color and cheerfulness of hollyhock blooms, evokes the luminous gardens depicted in Gustav Klimt's paintings. Created by American artist Kerry Simmons, this cotton-linen blend captures the pastoral purity and romance of the countryside, infused with a vibrant floral riot that embodies a spirited punk essence.
A delightful note: Hollyhocks are a common sight on the streets of Amsterdam, where it's tradition to plant them at home entrances, bringing a touch of nature's charm to the urban landscape.
The legacy of the bases of the lamps, the Royal Delft White, date back to the 1930s. Amidst the economic challenges of the era and the impact of the Second World War, the once-thriving market for hand-painted Delftware transformed. The Delft White series, with its utilitarian yet artful designs, shifted focus from intricate paintings to the vase's unique shapes and how they reflect the light. By the late '60s, the collection boasted over 174 creatively shaped models. Production ceased in 1976, leaving only the iconic tulip vases in continuation of the Delfts Wit tradition.
The last image is this pair together with their sister lamp, Alcea, which is also available.

De Porceleyne Fles, later given the distinction of Koninklijke or Royal, known now as Royal Delft, is a Dutch manufacturer of Delftware, or Delfts aardewerk, headquartered in Delft, the Netherlands. It is the only remaining ceramics factory out of 32 that were established in Delft during the 17th century. Founded in 1653, it has been active for over 360 years without interruption. Royal Delft is not only the oldest surviving producer of Delftware, but one that is highly respected for its artistry.
