AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful pair of Art Deco ceramic lamp bodies in ivory glazed ceramic with gold accents, apparently made around 1930-1940.
These two pieces feature a particularly original sculptural form, composed of graceful curves and interlaced loops forming a geometric decor very characteristic of the Art Deco aesthetic.
The ceramic is coated with a glossy ivory glaze, enhanced with gilded threads and borders as well as small gilded geometric motifs at the junction points. The overall silhouette is elegant and highly decorative.
Each piece has two sockets intended to receive bulbs, symmetrically arranged at the ends. The openings and passages visible in the ceramic correspond to their original design as electrical lighting bodies.
The two pieces are currently devoid of any electrical installation or components and are sold solely as ceramic elements. They can be kept as decorative objects or possibly be restored and electrified by a professional.
A number “83” is molded into the ceramic, likely a model or form reference. A raised inscription is also visible on the edge of the base, but it is partially worn and difficult to read.
The exact origin of the manufacture could not be determined with certainty. The style suggests European production, probably from Central Europe, in the Art Deco taste.
Condition
Good overall condition for their age.
The gilding shows some wear and small signs of time, particularly along the borders.
One of the two pieces was later used as a candlestick and shows traces of wax inside the two sockets. This use appears to be after its original function as a luminaire body.
Some small age-related superficial marks are visible. No major restoration is known.
