This pair of mid 19th-century French Neoclassical table lamps consists of porcelain vases with cobalt blue glazed bodies, mounted with gilt brass fittings. Each lamp has a baluster-shaped body resting on a stepped octagonal base, topped with a cast metal collar featuring detailed ram head motifs and a socket with a brass turn-key switch. The glazed porcelain displays a deep blue finish, contrasted by the polished gold-coloured metal mounts at the top and bottom. Measuring 48 cm high, these lamps are suitable for placement on a sideboard top or a living room console table to provide functional surface lighting. Their classic form and rich colour palette complement traditional and formal interior schemes in a home today.

FAQs

These lighting fixtures feature hand-glazed ceramic bodies, often inspired by Sevres porcelain designs, mounted with cast brass or bronze bases and decorative collars in classical shapes.

They feature high-fired porcelain finished with a rich cobalt oxide glaze, anchored to cast brass or gilt metal bases using an internal central metal rod.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy cast metal fittings with defined chiselling, subtle variations in the hand-applied glaze, and historical rewiring suited to modern electrical standards.

Position them symmetrically on a sideboard, console table, or pair of bedside cabinets to establish visual balance and introduce deep tone against neutral backdrops.

Dust the porcelain vase section with a soft dry microfibre cloth, avoid applying chemical solvents to the glazed surface, and gently wipe metal mounts to preserve the patination.
