About the Item

Beautifully sculpted and crafted in porcelain, in shades of white and slate blue, this rare and lovely table lamp depicts Persephone, goddess of spring, in bas relief. The lamp was made by the famous Lenox porcelain company in Trenton, New Jersey, which made a series of very finely crafted sculptures in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. This is the only example of this lamp we have seen. (The lamp base is 12.5" high; with the socket, it is 15.5" high.).

"Exchange of Cultures, " High Style Art Deco Porcelain Lamp Base w/ Nudes by Robj
By ROBJ
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Illustrated in "Ceramiche Robj" and considered a major design by the renowned sculptor and ceramicist, this large piece was probably made in early 1930s to coincide with the debut of the Exposition Coloniale Internationale in Paris, which attracted almost 9 million visitors in less than a year. Rare and striking, this porcelain table lamp base depicts the globe surmounted by a tightly composed cluster of nude and semi-nude female figures representing cultures around the world. The women depicted here, all glazed in a gorgeous snow-white glaze highlighted in gold, are clearly representing a range of nations in Asia and Africa, probably coinciding with the nations that were part of the French Colonial Empire in the 1930s, before they won their freedom.
