An old and rare French sculptural lamp made by Santiago Rodriguez Bonome (1901-1995), representing two pikes in motion, dating from the 1950s-1960s.

This animal artwork is distinguished by its dynamic composition and remarkable polychrome ceramic work.
The two pike are depicted superimposed, in a swimming pose, with their mouths open, their bodies elongated and their fins spread out.
They are made of terracotta with polychrome glazes, in shades of olive green, brown, yellow and orange.
The naturalistic design accurately reproduces the characteristic spots of pike, the details of the scales, the expressive eyes and the finely sculpted fins.
The fish rest on a base evoking a stylized rock and aquatic vegetation, combining glazed terracotta with a green tinted glass element.

Integrated lighting illuminates the green glass and creates a particularly decorative lighting effect, highlighting the two fish.

This creation is part of the French animal ceramic movement of the mid-20th century, combining naturalistic sculpture, decorative research and ambient lighting.

It is signed in relief in two places, under the pikes and under the base: “S.R. Bonome Paris”.
It dates from the 1950s-1960s.

This lamp is an original collector's item, ideal for lovers of French ceramics, animal sculptures and vintage decoration.
