This Sasha Brastoff lamp is one of a kind and was made for a personal friend of Mr. Brastoff. It is highly collectible and desirable because it is a hand made sculpture of a rooster. A rooster was Mr. Brastoff’s logo. It has a history and great stories about his reasons for choosing a rooster as his favorite animal and made many variations of a rooster. This beauty is stunning as it is gold plated with black as he did before mixing those 2 colors combo in vases and even an iconic set of China that is in very high demand still today. Sculpture/base rooster height is 18.5”. Mr. Brastoff’s work is collected by many of the rich and famous around the world. The rooster is glued to the base. We were going to refinish the black base but did not want to damage the rooster trying to remove it. It looks fine as it. Most Sascha designed lamps and especially the ones made by him had WANUT real wood bases. Not sure as this was made for a friend if it was black originally. Orig wiring in working condition. It has a nice on/off switch on the cord. The black fabric shade is as we found the lamp. Lined in light gold fabric. Probably not the 1950s original. Looks good on the outside, it has some marks at the top of the inside of shade. Not visible outside. Exact replacements are still available.
Sascha Brastoff (October 23, 1918 - February 4, 1993) was an iconic mid-century designer who had a ceramics studio.
He was active in the Los Angeles area from 1947 to 1963, after which he left his company due to ill health.
The Sascha Brastoff Ceramics Factory, designed by architects A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Earl Emmons, was located at 11520 West Olympic Boulevard in West Los Angeles.
His work is still highly desirable and collected worldwide.
