This nineteenth-century Chinese Qing Dynasty table lamp adapts a famille verte style hexagonal porcelain vase, mounted on a gilded brass base and finished with a cream-coloured pleated silk shade and a small pointed finial. The white porcelain body exhibits hand-painted multicolour decoration showing a figurative panel with a female figure in traditional green attire amidst floral motifs, foliage, and vases, complemented by decorative border patterns on the shoulder and neck. Visible details include the hexagonal form, the straight-sided shaft, and the stepped brass footplate beneath the porcelain base. The lamp measures 38 cm high. It suits placement on a sideboard top within an English Country House interior scheme, providing functional lighting while introducing traditional Asian decorative motifs and soft pleated textures to a living space, hallway, or bedroom setting.

FAQs

Famille Verte is a style of Chinese porcelain decoration developed during the Qing dynasty, characterised by overglaze enamels in which copper-green tones predominate alongside iron red, yellow, and blue.

These pieces consist of hard-paste porcelain fired at high temperatures, hand-applied enamel pigments, brass or bronze base mounts, and fabric lamp shades such as pleated silk.

Authentic pieces feature translucent green glazes, iridescent haloing around enamels, hand-painted figurative or botanical brushwork, and natural wear around the unglazed footrim.

Position the lamp on a dark wood sideboard, console table, or desk to provide a colourful focal point that contrasts with contemporary neutral walls and tailored upholstery.

Dust the porcelain base gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid liquid cleaners on overglaze enamels, and ensure electrical wiring is inspected periodically by a qualified electrician.
