Porcelain And Gilded Brass Elephant Lamp – Attributed To Giulia Mangani – Italy, Circa 1970

A superb and original vintage table lamp in glazed porcelain and gilded brass, attributed to the famous Italian firm Giulia Mangani, Florence, circa 1970.

This striking decorative lamp depicts a stylized elephant in white porcelain, richly adorned with black-and-white geometric patterns and gold accents.

The animal’s body features an elegant checkerboard pattern, embellished with gold teardrop-shaped motifs.

The head, ears, and legs are finely crafted in relief, while the raised trunk adds a touch of originality and whimsy to the piece.

The elephant rests on a rectangular base made of gilded brass, extended by an architectural structure supporting a vertical post and an adjustable lighting fixture.

This creation harmoniously combines the refinement of Italian porcelain with the geometric lines characteristic of 1970s design.

A striking piece, both sculptural and functional, that will naturally find its place in a contemporary, Art Deco, or vintage interior.
