About the Item

Finished in luscious glazes the color of red wine and bright gold, this rare pair of Mid-Century lamps depict a cluster of Carnival revelers in masks and festive costume. The pair is signed by Eugenio Pattarino, one of Italy’s greatest post-war ceramicists. Pattarino created figures that were so elaborate and coveted that they were given by the Vatican to famous visitors like John F. Kennedy and Andre Gide. As in the grand tours of the 19th century, American tourists collected Pattarino pieces when traveling to Italy and one large 8 foot Madonna was given to the Lady of Angel Cathedral in Los Angeles.

"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. Much like the one surviving building from the Exposition, now the Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration, which features a massive bas relief mural...
