About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
For sale is a museum-quality and extremely rare luxury table lamp made of the finest Capodimonte porcelain. This is a hand-signed masterpiece by the listed Italian ceramic artist Armando Cecchi from the 1970s, crafted in the unmistakable style of luxurious Hollywood Regency and Mid-Century design.
Key features at a glance: **Exclusive Masterpiece:** Handcrafted in the traditional style of world-renowned Neapolitan Capodimonte porcelain and directly from the master's workshop. The base is unmistakably marked with the famous blue N-crown. **Ground Gold Certificate:** The base also bears the rare gold guarantee mark (crescent moon with three crowns), certifying the authentic hand-gilding with 24-karat gold (Oro Zecchino). **Extremely Rare Motif:** The front features an extremely three-dimensional high relief of a proud turkey (Tacchino). While Cecchi frequently depicted peacocks or pheasants, this turkey motif is an absolute rarity. Due to the elaborate handwork and the artist's signature, only a vanishingly small number exist worldwide. **Interchangeable Look (Two Spatial Effects):** An exciting, contrasting concept – the back is simpler and adorned with an elegant floral sprig in real gold. The lamp thus offers two completely different, sophisticated spatial effects depending on its orientation. **Craftsmanship at the Highest Level:** Elaborate embossing technique (hand-modeled indentations in the porcelain) that creates a fascinating three-dimensionality through the interplay of matte and polished gold in the lavish thick-layer gilding. **Exceptional Egg Shape (Uovo):** The flawless porcelain body captivates with its elegant oval silhouette, giving the lamp a sculptural and modern presence in the room. Technical Data & Dimensions: **Impressive Size:** Total height of approximately 56 cm including the cream-white, conical fabric shade. * **Porcelain Base:** The elegant porcelain base measures an impressive 38 cm including the socket. * **Electrical & Protective Features:** Original, gold-colored wiring with a matching cord switch from the 1970s. The E27 socket functions perfectly and is already fitted with a modern, warm LED filament bulb. To protect fine furniture, the underside is fitted with an original green felt pad. Condition: Excellent, undamaged vintage condition! The delicate relief and the wafer-thin gilding are completely free of cracks, chips, or damage. There are only minimal, age-related discolorations in the white and some old adhesive residue at the very bottom edge from a previous label (barely visible, see photos). A true eye-catcher and a high-quality collector's item that cannot be found anywhere else online. Shipping & Handling: Absolutely professional, secure shipping (insured parcel) is easily arranged. To completely eliminate the risk of damage during transport, the item will be shipped in two separate packages (one for the lamp base and one for the shade) to prevent any pressure damage. Careful and professional packaging is guaranteed. Private sale: No warranty, guarantee, or returns.
For sale is a museum-quality and highly rare luxury table lamp made of the finest Capodimonte porcelain. This hand-signed masterpiece was created by the listed Italian ceramic artist Armando Cecchi in the 1970s, perfectly embodying the opulent Hollywood Regency and Mid-Century Modern era. Highlights: * **Certified Provenance:** Marked at the bottom with the famous blue Capodimonte "N" with crown. Additionally, it features the rare gold guarantee stamp (crescent moon with three crowns), certifying the exquisite hand-gilding with genuine 24-karat gold (Oro Zecchino) directly from the artist's studio. * **High Relief Sculpture:** The front features an impressive, hand-modeled high-relief sculpture of a proud turkey (Tacchino). While Cecchi frequently depicted peacocks or pheasants, this turkey motif is an absolute rarity.

A major highlight for collectors: The cream-white fabric shade is 100% original. The original gold-toned wiring (E27 socket, 70s cord switch) is fully functional.
