This large table lamp is a toleware piece from 1930, made in a Chinoiserie style. The object consists of a black and gold lacquered metal body shaped like a three-footed urn on a plinth, complete with a conical metal shade. Both the urn base and the shade display hand-painted Japanese-style decorations depicting pagodas, palms, and various figures against the dark background. The urn features mounted lion head ring handles on the sides, supported by three tripod cabriole legs resting on a shaped triangular base with ball feet. Fully wired for modern use, the lamp stands 92 cm high, 51 cm wide, and 51 cm deep. Placed on a sideboard top, this piece provides functional illumination while serving as a focal point in a gentleman's library, study, or living room setting.

FAQs

Chinoiserie toleware refers to lacquered or painted tinplate items decorated with European interpretations of East Asian artistic traditions, popularised during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Traditional pieces were crafted from rolled sheet iron coated in tin, which was then primed, hand-painted with japan lacquer, and decorated with gilt highlight details.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-painted details showing subtle surface wear, heavy lacquered metal construction, hand-drawn motifs rather than printed transfers, and natural patination around fittings.

A Chinoiserie lamp functions as a focal statement when placed on a contemporary sideboard, paired with neutral walls, or integrated alongside dark wood accents.

Dust gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth while avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners or excess water, which can degrade fragile painted lacquers and gilded decoration.
