"Neptune & Salacia Riding Dolphins, " Unique Art Deco Sculptures or Lamp Bases
About the Item
Large, bold and unique, this pair of Art Deco sculptures, originally designed to serve as lamp bases, depict Neptune and his wife Salacia riding the backs of whimsical, stylized dolphins resting on large shells. Neptune is shown with a trident on his lap, while Salacia is shown with a small crown on her brow. The shells are glazed in a glossy, craquelure finish, while the figures and dolphins have a lovely, artistic bisque glaze with a matte finish. The Neptune figure is resting on an original wood base; the Salacia figure is without a base.

- "Exchange of Cultures, " High Style Art Deco Porcelain Lamp Base w/ Nudes by RobjBy ROBJLocated in Philadelphia, PAIllustrated in "Ceramiche Robj" and considered a major design by the renowned sculptor and ceramicist, this large piece was probably made in early 1930s to coincide with the debut of the Exposition Coloniale Internationale in Paris, which attracted almost 9 million visitors in less than a year. Rare and striking, this porcelain table lamp base depicts the globe surmounted by a tightly composed cluster of nude and semi-nude female figures representing cultures around the world. The women depicted here, all glazed in a gorgeous snow-white glaze highlighted in gold, are clearly representing a range of nations in Asia and Africa, probably coinciding with the nations that were part of the French Colonial Empire in the 1930s, before they won their freedom. Much like the one surviving building from the Exposition, now the Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration, which features a massive bas relief mural...Category
