About the Item
This striking pair of ceramic table lamps by renowned Swiss artist Philippe Lambercy exemplifies mid-century modern elegance with classical inspiration. Each lamp features a graceful bottle-shaped ceramic body in warm cream, beautifully contrasted by sleek black painted pedestal bases.
The true artistry lies in Lambercy's masterful figural decoration - simple yet sophisticated line drawings of Greek-style figures rendered in black against the cream ceramic. Each character is depicted holding symbolic objects - pieces of fruit or birds - creating a sense of narrative and movement around each lamp. The front and back of each lamp showcase different figures, offering multiple perspectives and ensuring visual interest from every angle.
This artistic restraint perfectly captures the essence of mid-century design philosophy: maximum impact through minimal means. The clean lines and classical motifs create pieces that are both timeless and distinctly of their era.
Made in Switzerland, these lamps showcase the exceptional quality and attention to detail that Swiss craftsmanship is renowned for. Each piece features original dual-bulb sockets with charming pull-string switches, maintaining their authentic vintage functionality. The fresh linen lampshades complement the cream ceramic beautifully, creating a cohesive and sophisticated lighting solution. Lambercy's signature blend of classical mythology and modern form is evident throughout, while the hand-painted figural decoration shows subtle variations that confirm artistic authenticity. Both lamps are signed by Lambercy on the bottom of the ceramic form, as shown in the photos, providing clear provenance and authenticity.
These lamps represent Lambercy's ability to bridge ancient artistic traditions with contemporary sensibilities, making them perfect for collectors of mid-century ceramics, lovers of classical art, or anyone seeking sophisticated lighting with artistic pedigree. In excellent vintage condition with original electrical components and new professionally fitted shades, they are sold as a perfectly matched pair - ideal for flanking a sofa, in a bedroom, or gracing an entry console.
