Terracotta table lamp in a mid‑century modern design, circa 1960–1970, with a 20 cm square base and 47 cm height, featuring a dense bouquet of individually modelled black terracotta flowers; it is in good used condition but not in working order.
Description from the seller
It is a mid-20th-century table lamp with a very sculptural presence, built from a conical body completely covered with black terracotta flowers. Each flower is individually molded, with overlapping petals that create a dense, tactile relief, almost like a petrified bouquet. The overall effect produces a strongly marked play of shadows, typical of dark ceramics and accumulated volume.
The internal structure supports at the top the socket for the bulb, with the floral mass remaining the true decorative protagonist. The effect is organic, expressive, and with an artisanal touch that recalls studio works from the mid-century, when artistic ceramics experienced a period of great experimentation.
The piece is in good overall condition, with no visible losses in the flowers, although the electrical system shows the wear of time and requires adjustments and rewiring for safe use. It is a lamp with character, ideal for interiors seeking a sculptural accent and a rich and singular texture.
Tracked shipping and good packaging.
