About the Item

This stunning Mid-Century Modernist ceramic table lamp, crafted in France circa 1950, features an organic, pitcher-like form that embodies the era’s embrace of sculptural and naturalist design. The lamp seamlessly blends functionality with artistry, boasting a textured surface in a warm palette of raw sienna and off-white, evoking the earthy hues and tactile qualities of the natural world. Within the body of the lamp are illuminated cutouts that punctuate its surface, illuminated from within and adding dynamic material contrast and openness. These perforations not only enhance the lamp's visual interest but also create a soft, atmospheric glow, making it as much a source of ambient lighting as a sculptural centerpiece for a space. The raw sienna and off-white tones are artfully combined to highlight the piece's naturalist texture, giving the surface a sense of depth and character reminiscent of handcrafted pottery. Fitted with a custom gallery shade in raffia fiber, with a gorgeous natural woven quality with exquisitely fringed top and bottom edges of the shade. The shade pairs beautifully with the body of the lamp, further accentuating the natural material qualities of the piece. This unique lamp is equally at home in a variety of settings, from modernist interiors to spaces with a more eclectic or organic aesthetic. Whether placed on a side table in a living room, a console in an entryway, or on a nightstand beside a bed, it offers both functional light and decorative allure. Newly rewired to American Standards, with two Edison base bulbs achieving up to 200 watts of light. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
