Product description
For sale is a museum-quality and extremely rare luxury table lamp made of the finest Capodimonte porcelain. It is a hand-signed masterpiece from the 1970s, crafted in the unmistakable style of luxurious Hollywood Regency and Mid-Century design.
Features at a glance: **Exclusive Masterpiece:**
Handcrafted in the traditional style of the world-famous Neapolitan Capodimonte porcelain art and signed with A. Cecchi. Undeniably marked on the bottom with the famous blue N-crown. **Genuine Gold Certificate:**
The base also features the rare golden guarantee stamp (crescent moon with three crowns), which certifies the authentic hand-gilding with 24-karat genuine gold (Oro Zecchino).
**Extremely Rare Motif:**
The front features an extremely sculptural high relief of a proud turkey (Tacchino). While peacocks or pheasants were often depicted, this turkey motif is an absolute rarity. Due to the elaborate handcraftsmanship and the artist's signature, only a vanishingly small number of pieces exist worldwide.
**Changeable Look (Two Room Effects):**
Exciting, contrasting concept – the back is kept simpler and adorned with an elegant floral leaf branch in genuine gold. The lamp thus offers two completely different, noble room effects depending on its orientation.
**Craftsmanship at the Highest Level:** Elaborate "Pikier" technique (hand-modeled indentations in the porcelain), which creates a fascinating three-dimensionality through the interplay of matte and glossy gold in the opulent thick-layer gilding. * **Exceptional Egg Shape (Uovo):**
The flawless porcelain body impresses with its elegant oval silhouette, which gives the lamp a sculptural and modern presence in the room.
Technical Data & Dimensions:
**Impressive Size:**
Total height of approx. 56 cm including the cream-white, conical fabric shade. **Porcelain Base:**
The elegant porcelain base measures a proud 38 cm including the socket.
**Electrics & Protection:**
Original, gold-colored wiring with matching cord switch from the 70s. The E27 socket functions perfectly and is already equipped with a modern, warm LED filament bulb. To protect noble furniture, the underside is factory-fitted with an original green felt glider.
Condition: Excellent, undamaged vintage condition! The fragile relief and the wafer-thin gilding are completely free of cracks, chips, or dents. Only minimal, age-appropriate discolorations in the white and old adhesive residues on the very bottom edge from a previous label (hardly visible, see photos). A real eye-catcher and a high-caliber collector's item that cannot be found a second time online.
Shipping & Handling: Absolutely professional, drop-proof shipping (insured parcel) is easily possible. To completely rule out transport damage, shipping is divided into two separate packages (1x lamp base, 1x shade) to completely avoid the risk of pressure damage. Careful and professional packaging is guaranteed.
Private sale: No warranty, guarantee, or returns.
