White Fabric & Black Ceramic Lamp by Faïencerie de Charolles, France, 1980s
About the Item
A striking study in contrast and form, this ceramic table lamp by Faïencerie de Charolles was crafted in France during the 1980s. The design is defined by its bold, architectural silhouette—featuring a sleek, high-gloss black ceramic base with subtly curved edges and a perfectly proportioned cream white square fabric shade.
Minimalist and modernist in character, the lamp’s geometric structure and monochromatic palette make it a strong visual statement, ideal for contemporary interiors or as a sculptural accent in eclectic spaces. The reflective ceramic surface adds depth and dimension, while the crisp shade diffuses soft, ambient light.
Founded in the 19th century, Faïencerie de Charolles has long been celebrated for its high-quality ceramic artistry. By the 1980s, the company embraced modern aesthetics while preserving its craftsmanship roots—this lamp being a perfect example of that evolution.
In excellent vintage condition. A timeless and collectible piece of French postmodern design.
Faïencerie de Charolles – A Legacy of French Ceramic Artistry
Founded in 1844 in the Burgundy region of France, Faïencerie de Charolles quickly established itself as a respected name in decorative ceramics. Drawing from the rich traditions of French faience (tin-glazed earthenware), the company became known for its handcrafted ceramic pieces that blended artistic refinement with utilitarian beauty.
Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, the workshop produced a wide array of decorative pottery, tableware, and lighting, often distinguished by vibrant glazes and delicately hand-painted motifs. However, as tastes evolved in the mid-to-late 20th century, so too did the company's designs. During the 1970s and 1980s, Faïencerie de Charolles began to embrace more contemporary forms and minimalist aesthetics, creating pieces with bold shapes, monochrome finishes, and a sculptural quality—like the lamp you're featuring.
Despite changes in style, quality craftsmanship remained at the core of their production. Each piece was typically handcrafted and finished in-house, showcasing the artisanal roots of the brand even in modernist executions.
Today, pieces by Faïencerie de Charolles—especially from their 1980s postmodern phase—are increasingly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts for their unique balance of tradition and innovation.
