This pair of eighteenth-century table lamps comprises Chinese Mandarin porcelain vases mounted in French gilded ormolu. Each vase displays powder blue and gilded decoration ground, inset hand-painted panels depicting figures in a garden with mountains in the background, and scrolling ormolu handles. The mounts include an acanthus leaf base, a turned neck, and a rectangular plinth base beneath the handles, while the top carries a cream pleated fabric lampshade. The lamps measure 45 cm high, 15 cm wide, and 15 cm deep. Suiting an English Country House design vibe, these table lamps sit comfortably upon a sideboard top in a living room, hallway, or study. The combination of colourful porcelain panels, warm gilt bronze, and neutral pleated fabric brings both ambient lighting and classical decorative detail to an interior setting.

FAQs

Mandarin vase lamps are decorative lighting fixtures crafted from 18th-century Chinese export porcelain vases depicting figures in traditional courtly or domestic settings, fitted with European gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts and electrical components.

These lamps typically consist of hand-painted Chinese hard-paste porcelain, cast and chased gilt-bronze (ormolu) bases and handles, alongside fabric or pleated silk lampshades.

Authentic pieces feature detailed overglaze enamel painting in the Mandarin palette, heavy fire-gilded bronze mounts with hand-chased detailing, and evidence of historic adaptation for lighting.

Position the lamps symmetrically on a sideboard, console table, or pair of bedside tables to create balance and introduce historic detail to a interior design scheme.

Dust the porcelain body and gilt mounts regularly with a dry microfibre cloth or soft brush, avoiding chemical solvents or abrasive polish that could strip the gilded surface or enamel.
