This exceptional table lamp, signed by French ceramicist Paul Armaing (1918-2003), is a sublime testament to the historic Castelnaudary pottery tradition during the 1970s. Its sculptural figurative design, evoking an abstract anthropomorphic silhouette raising the light source, is executed in artisanal ceramic and coated with a dense vitreous glaze in a deep emerald green hue. The organic fluidity of its lines and the technical mastery in the glaze application endow the piece with an undeniable visual magnetism and a markedly contemporary character within French Mid-century design.
