Peacock Lamp Appraisal

Vintage Ceramic Peacock Table Lamp with Fabric Shade

This is a vintage table lamp featuring a figural ceramic peacock as its base, mounted on a square metallic plinth. The peacock sculpture is highly stylized and hand-painted, showcasing vibrant colors. The body of the peacock is primarily a deep teal or blue-green, with accents of iridescent gold on the wings and chest. The long tail feathers are intricately detailed with layered segments, featuring shades of light blue, teal, and a subtle pinkish-purple outline, creating a fanned effect. The peacock is depicted perched on a white, textured ceramic tree stump or decorative base. The overall style suggests a mid-20th-century aesthetic, possibly from the 1960s or 1970s, characterized by its decorative and somewhat kitsch appeal. The lamp's stem, which rises from behind the peacock, appears to be polished brass or a similar gold-toned metal. It is topped with a simple, cream or off-white fabric drum or oval lampshade, featuring a thin, metallic trim around its top and bottom edges. The fabric of the shade appears to be in good condition, showing minimal signs of wear or discoloration, though a few specks or light marks are visible upon close inspection, consistent with age and use. The ceramic peacock appears to be in excellent condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or significant paint loss. The metallic plinth at the base is gold-toned and has a black insert, showing minor signs of wear or oxidation on the metal frame. The craftsmanship of the ceramic peacock is moderately detailed, with hand-painted elements indicating an artisan touch, though it is likely mass-produced vintage decorative lighting.
