Beautiful lamp with a Moor's Head at the base, made of Sicilian artistic ceramics, handcrafted and hand-painted. It is decorated in black and white mosaic and finished in gold leaf. The lampshade has a floral decoration also in black and white.
Moor's Head measurement: 48 cm in height
Full lampshade measurement: about 80 cm in height
My emotion:
As a child, in the garden of my uncles' house in Palermo, adorning the entrance of the avenue covered by grapevines, there were succulent plants spilling out of red terracotta pots shaped like a Moor's Head. Every time I passed by, I looked at them with a mix of unease and fascination. It seemed to me that a form of life had crystallized in those strange objects and that at any moment the Moor's Head could come to life and speak.
