Zaccagnini Florence ceramic lamp with birds – 1960s

An elegant and original polychrome ceramic table lamp from the Zaccagnini workshop in Florence, made in the 1960s. The base, which is particularly decorative, depicts two exotic birds with long tails perched on the branches of a tree trunk that has been sculpted and painted in natural shades of wood and green. The birds are characterized by a delicate polychrome palette of shades of blue, white, and red, with gold accents that enhance the composition. The slender structure and the movement of the long tails, which extend vertically along the trunk down to the base, give the lamp an elegant and whimsical appearance, representative of mid-20th-century Italian decorative design. It comes complete with a contoured fabric lampshade, as shown in the photographs. The lamp is in working condition and retains its original electrical wiring dating from the 1960s.
