The body is made of white glazed ceramic, modeled with a refined three-dimensional motif of small overlapping "leaves" reminiscent of the structure of a pine cone. This type of workmanship, typical of the Italian taste of the period, creates an interesting interplay of light and shadow on the surface, enhancing the object's materiality and its artisanal character.
The solid, square base is made of gilded brass, adding an elegant contrast between the warmth of the metal and the ceramic. The overall effect reflects the distinctive style attributed to Barbi, known for his use of organic forms and details inspired by nature.
The lampshade, with its truncated cone shape and neutral color, diffuses a soft, even light, making the lamp suitable both as an atmospheric light source and as a decorative element.
Vintage condition: It has small signs of aging and minor defects (visible in photos), consistent with its age and use. These do not affect its functionality but rather testify to its authenticity.

Overall, it is a decorative object in the "Hollywood Regency"/Italian modern style, ideal for elegant or eclectic spaces, where it can truly take center stage.
