Italian Capodimonte Porcelain Floral Table Lamp with Tasseled Silk Shade

This is a highly decorative Italian Capodimonte porcelain table lamp, likely dating from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1970s). The lamp features an ornate ceramic body characterized by hand-applied, three-dimensional porcelain flowers in a vibrant palette of yellow, pink, and green. The base utilizes a classic urn silhouette, mounted atop a multi-tiered, scalloped brass or gilt-metal footing. The porcelain surface is further enhanced with polychrome floral transfers or hand-painted details and gilded accents typical of the Neapolitan style. It is topped with a sophisticated Victorian-style silk bell shade, which follows a distinct contoured shape. The shade is lavishly adorned with patterned gimp trim and a double-tier of multi-colored silk tassels along the top and bottom rims. The overall construction displays high-quality Italian craftsmanship intended for opulent interior aesthetics. While the porcelain appears intact, there is potential for minor chipping on the delicate flower petals, which is common for this medium. The shade shows even coloration but may have slight dust accumulation within the silk pleats. The brass base exhibits a soft, aged patina. This piece serves as a prime example of the ornate 'more is more' Mediterranean revivalist decor.
