Lyrical Scrollwork Ceramic Table Lamp

This table lamp features a distinctive ceramic base designed with openwork architectural scrollwork. The base is composed of a rectangular tiered plinth supporting an upright lyrical or fleur-de-lis inspired motif. The ceramic has been finished with a multi-tonal, weathered glaze that mimics the appearance of aged stone or cast concrete, featuring shades of muted taupe, sand, and grey with darker antiquing in the recessed areas to accentuate the sculptural depth. The openwork design consists of symmetrical heart-shaped and volute curves, creating a light, airy silhouette despite the solid ceramic construction. It is topped with a modern square-tapered (cut-corner) empire lampshade made of textured flaxen or linen-blend fabric in a neutral oatmeal color, finished with coordinating piping along the edges. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or structural damage to the ceramic body. The patina is intentional and uniform, suggesting a contemporary manufacture (late 20th to early 21st century) designed to evoke a rustic or Mediterranean aesthetic. The quality is indicated by the clean molding of the curves and the tiered base which provides stability and a refined finish to the sculptural element.
