This pair of Victorian Chinoiserie table lamps originates from around 1890, created from 19th-century Cantonese porcelain converted with ormolu and brass mounts. The slim baluster porcelain bodies display a multicolour famille rose palette with figurative court scenes, birds, and flowers, accompanied by gilt bronze elephant head handles, a faux bamboo rim, and round pierced scroll ormolu bases. The lamps stand 51 cm high, 11.5 cm wide, and 11.5 cm deep. Positioned on a sideboard top, this pair brings traditional English Country House character to a living room, hallway, or dining space. The wiring is updated for the UK, making the lamps ready for functional domestic use while retaining their historic aesthetic.

FAQs

Cantonese porcelain lamps typically feature 19th-century Chinese export porcelain vessels decorated with famille rose enamels, which were later mounted with metalwork or fitted as electrical lighting fixtures.

These lamps combine hand-painted Chinese porcelain bodies with custom European gilt bronze or brass fittings, including chased cast bases, decorative handles, and top light sockets.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-painted polychrome enamel work featuring panels of figures and flora, faint surface wear, and heavy cast metal mounts around the ceramic base and neck.

Positioning a pair symmetrically on a console table or sideboard provides balanced proportions, vibrant colour, and pattern contrast in modern or classic interior schemes.

Dust ceramics with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical polishes on gilt metal surfaces, and keep moisture away from crackle glazes and electrical components.
