Product Details
Description
A magnificent vintage table lamp by Edoardo Tasca featuring an exquisite Capodimonte porcelain Egyptian pharaoh figure. This stunning piece exemplifies the glamorous Hollywood Regency aesthetic with its Egyptian Revival styling, hand-painted polychrome details, and dramatic shell-shaped shade. Created by the renowned Italian sculptor and ceramicist Edoardo Tasca, this lamp represents the height of mid-century Italian decorative arts and the 1950s-60s fascination with ancient Egyptian motifs.
The porcelain figure showcases exceptional Capodimonte craftsmanship, depicting an ancient Egyptian pharaoh or nobleman in traditional regalia. It features hand-painted porcelain with meticulous attention to period-accurate details, an elaborate headdress (nemes) in black with blue inlay band and gold accents, a multi-colored broad collar (wesekh) with stripes in blue, red, green, and gold, and a golden skin tone representing the idealized Egyptian aesthetic. The figure holds crook and flail symbols of pharaonic power in crossed arms, with a blue beaded apron over a pleated white linen kilt and sandaled feet with gold details. It is mounted on a white marble or alabaster-effect base with relief hieroglyphics and a decorative wooden plinth, signed "Edoardo Tasca" on a brass plaque.
The lamp features a dramatic shell-shaped fabric shade with a scalloped edge mimicking a seashell or fan, pleated cream/ivory fabric creating elegant vertical lines, and blue and gold braided trim echoing the Egyptian color palette. Its substantial size creates an impressive visual impact, complementing the exotic figure in Hollywood Regency style.
Measurements: Porcelain figure height: 42 cm (approximately 16.5 inches), Total lamp height with shade: 58 cm (approximately 22.8 inches).
Condition: This vintage lamp displays characteristics consistent with age, with well-preserved hand-painted porcelain details. It may show minor wear to gold accents or paint, and the fabric shade shows age-appropriate patina. Wiring should be inspected/updated for safety as with all vintage electrical items. Base hieroglyphics may show light wear, but overall, it is in excellent decorative condition, maintaining its dramatic presence.
Dating: Based on the Hollywood Regency aesthetic, Tasca's active period, and the specific styling, this lamp likely dates to the 1950s-1960s, during the height of Egyptian Revival popularity in interior design.
Perfect for Hollywood Regency décor enthusiasts, Egyptian Revival and Egyptology collectors, Capodimonte porcelain collectors, mid-century Italian design lovers, maximalist and eclectic interiors, statement lighting for living rooms or bedrooms, theatrical, dramatic interior styling, collectors of Edoardo Tasca works, vintage luxury home décor, Old Hollywood glamour aesthetics, and grandmillennial style.
