MCM Italian Ceramic Pendant Ceiling Light Attributed to Alvino Bagni for Raymor

About the Item

Fantastic Italian Mid-Century Modern (MCM) ceramic triple pendant ceiling light attributed to Alvino Bagni for Raymor. It is in wonderful vintage condition. One of the ceramic pendants does have a chip on its neck but it is structurally sound, and, because of the coloration and pattern of the pottery, you must search to find it. This fixture has been restored and is ready to hang. However, if you would like the lengths of any of the three pendants changed, we can do so. Just ask at time of purchase and give us the lengths desired. Please see photos, circa 1950s-1960s. Holy Italian pottery Batman! This is an incredible Mid-Century Modern ceiling light. It is attributed to Alvino Bagni of Lastra a Signa, Italy for Raymor. It is comprised of three tan, brown, rose, and yellow striped vase shaped pendants with holes in the bottom wider ring that will cast beautiful light rays. The pendants hang at equal lengths from a large bowl-shaped canopy by large white cords. (Note: if you would like the length of the cords changed in any way, possibly to hang at cascading lengths, we can do that. Just let us know.) When researching this fixture, I first thought it was by Aldo Londi for Bitossi but a quick email to the Bitossi archivist and she informed me it was often misattributed to Londi, but it was in fact done by Alvino Bagni. We have determined this as an earlier work due to the use of red clay as a white finer clay came into use in the 1960s. And since Bagni started his own studio in 1946 and began designing work for Raymor after that we can further date this to 1946-mid-1960s. It is a handsome and unusual fixture and will be outstanding wherever it is used. Alvino Bagni, 1919-2009, was born in Lastra a Signa, Italy. He lived and worked there all his life. He received formal training in art at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence. Major influencers in his work were sculptor, Torello Santini, and Ginori model-maker and decorator, Arnoldo Pugi. It was Pugi who urged Bagni and gave him financial support to open his own workshop. He received an order that set him on a successful path when in 1952 he received a commission from the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Campaign to create 3,500 plates with the inscription “I like Ike”! In the late 1950s he caught the attention of importers Raymor, Rosenthal-Netter, and others. Bagni created a new studio, factory and research center in 1962 and brought into the realm new talent and creativity the likes of Remo Buti, Enzo Borgini, and Michaelangelo Santonocito. By the 1970s he was employing more than 110 an in 1974 created his famous “Sea Garden” glaze. Unfortunately, in 1992 with stiff competition from a global market he was forced to close his doors. Happily, two years later, at the age of 74, Bagni opened a new studio, Nuove Forme. This company is now lead by his grandson. Much of the above information was gleaned from Walter Del Pellegrino, author of “Italian Pottery Marks for Cantagallil to Fornasetti”. We have totally fallen in love with this amazing Mid-Century Modern Italian pendant light fixture and Alvino Bagni. We know you have too. Make this light yours!

Robert Bushong Silkscreen Wall Scroll Chanticleer for Tom Tru Raymor MCM

Located in Topeka, KS

Wonderful Mid-Century Modern silkscreen wall scroll titled Chanticleer by Robert R. Bushong for Tom Tru and distributed by Raymor. It is in fantastic vintage condition and circa 1959. I’ve recently become attracted to roosters and chickens in general, and these regal characters are really great! This wall-hanging is depicted in the Tom Tru Spring wall scroll catalog for 1959. Attributed to Robert R. Bushong, although the signature on this one is missing the G. Since the signature is so close to the edge we believe the G just did not make it into the screen printing process. This example is what was advertised in the catalog as: powder, royal, sage, brown on black texture. Otherwise known as powder blue, royal blue, sage green, and brown. Its solid walnut top and bottom mouldings are just beautiful as are these fantastic chanticleer, the name for roosters especially in fairy tales. Robert Bushong...
