Antique Italian Ceramic Lamp Base in Rococo Revival Style

About the Item

Antique Italian Ceramic Lamp Base in Rococo Revival Style, Late 19th – Early 20th Century A rare and striking ceramic lamp base featuring a twisted column form richly decorated with raised grapevine and leaf motifs. Crafted in white-glazed ceramic, this sculptural piece showcases an elegant, organic design typical of the Rococo Revival style. Based on its decorative characteristics and craftsmanship, the piece is likely of Italian origin, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. The lamp rests on an octagonal gilt wooden base, naturally worn with age to reveal red bole underneath—enhancing its antique character. The brass harp and socket are later additions, likely from the mid-20th century. The wiring is also vintage and may need updating for safe use. Condition note: A visible historic restoration is present at the top of the ceramic column (see detail photo), where a break or flaw has been repaired. The restoration is not professionally executed but is stable and adds to the piece’s character and provenance. Please note: The lampshade shown in the photos is not included in the sale. Dimensions: Total height (including harp): 106 cm / 41.7 in Height of ceramic column: 76 cm / 29.9 in Base width and depth: 20 x 20 cm / 7.9 x 7.9 in Shade diameter 62 cm / height 15 cm. Condition: Good vintage condition with signs of age, including small chips, glaze crazing, discoloration, and a visible restoration area. The gilt wooden base shows wear consistent with age, with patina and loss of gilding that contribute to its authentic look. A highly decorative object that functions beautifully as a lamp or as a sculptural accent piece—ideal for classical, eclectic, or antique-inspired interiors.
