Vintage Italian Capodimonte Style Cherub Lamp
$138.00
Italian Ceramic Lamp with Cherubs. Measures about 27.75" in total height. The base is 7" wide. Does not come with a shade. Has holes along the ceramic part like it should light up inside. I have no idea how to access the inside to confirm. Good condition. Shows age and use, discoloring on the metal parts. Tested and works.
Illuminate your space with the romantic charm of this vintage Italian ceramic lamp. Standing nearly 28 inches tall, this substantial piece is a masterful example of Capodimonte-style porcelain, featuring a classic urn silhouette adorned with hand-painted cherubs. The delicate central medallion captures two winged figures in a lush, pastoral setting, surrounded by intricate green and gold accents that emphasize its Continental heritage.
A unique feature of this lamp is the decorative piercing along the ceramic body. These lattice-like openings are designed to allow a soft, ambient glow to emanate from within, transforming the piece into both a primary light source and an ethereal accent. The ornate brass-toned metal base and matching scrolled handles provide a sturdy, regal foundation that carries a beautiful, authentic patina from years of use. While the internal access for the secondary bulb remains a mystery, the main socket has been tested and is in working order. This lamp is a perfect candidate for a galler or dark academia" inspired room, offering a touch of Old World sophistication and sculptural beauty. It remains in good vintage condition, ready to be paired with a shade that complements its timeless Italian craftsmanship.
This item is vintage, approximately 50 years old.
