About the Item
Exquisitely handcrafted by Amitābha Studio in Amsterdam from a 19th-century Italian Renaissance Revival vase (circa 1880–1900), Cosimo is a one-of-a-kind table lamp. The base—a richly detailed ceramic vessel inspired by the maiolica tradition of 16th-century Deruta—has been thoughtfully paired with a bespoke pleated silk lampshade made from a vintage Indian sari, and finished with a warm ochre cord that echoes the vase’s palette. The lamp was created without harming the original vase in any way.
This antique vessel bears all the hallmarks of revivalist workshops such as Cantagalli in Florence, known for reinterpreting Renaissance forms with painterly precision and symbolic richness. One side features a classical medallion portrait of a noblewoman—an homage to all’antica portraiture inspired by Roman coinage and humanist ideals. The reverse depicts the biscione, a serpent devouring a human figure, long associated with Milan’s Visconti dynasty. Framing these central motifs are arabesques of cobalt blue, golden ochre, and verdant green, painted under a softly crackled tin glaze in the Raffaellesque decorative tradition of Deruta maiolica.
The hand-pleated lampshade was pleated by hand in an atelier near Amsterdam from a vintage silk sari, chosen for its earthy floral pattern and delicate texture. Its tailored silhouette and natural tones complement the base’s ornamentation, creating a unified, layered object that bridges centuries of design.
Cosimo stands as a luminous convergence of history and contemporary design—where the layered iconography of Renaissance Italy meets sustainable modern craftsmanship. Ideal for collectors and connoisseurs of meaningful décor, this lamp lends patina, narrative, and a cultivated sense of place to any sophisticated interior.
