This monumental lamp, with a total height of 100 cm including its shade, is a unique piece created in the 1960s by a highly talented Parisian ceramist. Its pot-covered body is signed Porcelaine de Paris, a house founded in 1773 (marked with two arrows), heir to the prestigious tradition of the La Courtille manufacture. The black and gold decoration, applied by hand, required many weeks of meticulous work. Each gold motif is delicately placed on a deep black background, giving the whole a rare and luxurious presence. This artist also worked for major French manufactures, notably Sèvres and Paris, decorating table services intended for the most prestigious Parisian private hotels.
