Hand Painted Porcelain Capo Di Monte Lamp of Bacchus, Italy, 19th Century, Italy

About the Item

Italian porcelain hand painted traditional urn shape lamp by Capo Di Monte. Urn shape in form, the top is accented with two handles with swirls highly decorated in light pink, gold and yellow. The lamp widens at the bottom of the handles and tapers down to a wider body. The body of this decorative lamp features scenes of robed figures of men and women at a Bacchanalian feast. Decoration includes scenes of women draped in various color robes such as pink green and yellow. Bacchus is depicted as surrounded by women and sports a dark beard and floral crown. The top includes piercing throughout. The bottom of the porcelain portion of the lamp is decorated in a pink rope pattern around the edges. Just above, figures of light mint green leaves or petals are painted with gold hand painted edges. The base of the lamp is made up of a gold or brass metal with an ornate floral pattern. Inside appears to be iron or steel. The shape of the metal base is square in form with a pinched design at each side. Original harp included, however no shade. How we would style it: A rare piece such as this Capo Di Monte deserves to be seen. It reminds us of the Venetian home of Dodie Rosekrans. Filled with timeless classical pieces, each with their own story. This lovely lamp deserves a home of a true collector who has a deep appreciation for classical Italian art. We love the idea of this piece in a foyer with a small fringe lamp shade. Or perhaps at a dressing table in an ode to the God Bacchus and the beauties that surround him. Dimensions: 27" tall including harp 18" tall to where bulb inserts 7" wide 7" deep.
