This particular set represents an exceptionally rare, limited-run archival cast manufactured by Pieri Creations during their boutique postmodern revival era of 2004.
Unlike the company's mass-production mid-century lines, this specific model is virtually unseen on the open market, making it an elusive prize for serious collectors and a prime candidate for high-end editorial curation. The columns showcase deeply carved botanical relief work of climbing palm fronds, a design that directly channels the iconic architectural plaster lighting popularized by Serge Roche.
The pair seamlessly shares the bold, oversized theatricality of Dorothy Draper and the exotic botanical sensibilities of Mario Lopez Torres. Finding iconic treasures like these in their native Florida habitat is the core of the Turtle and Crane philosophy—turning the past into stunning decor for today. The monolithic, architectural silhouette beautifully nods to the structural column forms championed by Karl Springer during the late twentieth century.
Each sculptural column features a pristine multi-tonal coral pink wash that accentuates the textured plaster, anchored by a 7-inch square base and crowned with a prominently fluted spherical finial. The set comes beautifully paired with wide, rectangular light cream drum shades boasting a heavily textured loose-weave linen appearance and a warm gold interior liner that reflects a soft, ambient glow.Hand-signed and dated "© PIERI 04" on the lower reverse, this authentic set brings high-end sunshine state provenance directly to a modern interior design project.

Pieri Creations History:Founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Pieri Creations became legendary among mid-to-late 20th-century decorators for its heavy, masterfully cast composition plaster and ceramic lighting.While other manufacturers chased minimalist trends, Pieri embraced high-glam theatricality, producing deeply sculpted Chinoiserie, Neoclassical, and Hollywood Regency showroom pieces.
Known for their meticulous hand-painted finishes and premium multi-tonal washes, the company continued to release limited, boutique revival collections into the early 2000s, cementing their reputation for bringing dramatic, sculptural artistry directly into the American home.
