French Ceramic Table Lamp, Black Glazed, Organic Form, 1950s Design

About the Item

Exceptional French ceramic table lamp, circa 1950s, featuring a rare and beautifully sculpted organic form in deep black glazed ceramic. The highly sensual silhouette, articulated by sweeping curves and elegantly pierced openings, reflects the poetic vocabulary of post-war French organic modernism. Its sculptural language is evocative of the work of George Jouve and Pol Chambost, while the piece retains a distinctive and singular character of its own. The surface is particularly remarkable: a sublime, exceptionally deep black glaze with a rich, almost lacquer-like luminosity that follows and accentuates every curve of the form. The combination of the sculptural volume, restrained geometry and extraordinary glaze gives the lamp a powerful yet sophisticated presence. The electrical system has been completely renewed. The new lampshade has been carefully made to the original model, using a contemporary material reproducing the subtle appearance of the Rhodoïd traditionally used for French lampshades of the period. A rare and exceptionally preserved example of French ceramic lighting from the 1950s, offered in perfect condition. A particularly accomplished piece, equally compelling as a functional light and as a sculptural object. Dimensions: Overall height: 38 cm (14.96 in.) Lampshade diameter: 25 cm (9.84 in.) Ceramic base height: 25.5 cm (10.04 in.)
