Authentic "Capodimonte" (first produced in the 1700's) is known for its delicate, detailed modeling, high quality porcelain and intricate hand painted decorations. These lamps have all of that and the artist signature, what is missing is the company mark. Airy floral pattern in shades of yellow, brick red and green on an ecru background. The abundant gold accents are so rich they read as actual metal. I see possibilities for these special pisces far beyond grandma's house or a museum, imagine them in a minimal Italian modern room with a simple linen drum shade as unexpected art that lights your room as well.
