French Art Deco “Veilleuses” Lamp

1920 - 1940
Description

Manufactured circa 1930 in France by Limoges this. “Night lamp” is known as “Arabian nights”.

Referred to as an “veilleuses”

Rare to find in such remarkable condition

The bulb has been removed , however these lamps were designed as night lights to have an essential oil deposited.

The oils would then be gently warmed through the porcelain by the bulb and whilst providing a warm

Ambient glow they would diffuse the air with the scent of the oils.

The figurines are a male and female, the moulded body of the two has been hand painted and decorated.

Manufactured 1930, these were exceptionally innovative for the period, but exceptionally reflective of the evocative period.

This stands 28cm tall and is in exceptional condition.

A French Art Deco veilleuse is a decorative ceramic night lamp originating in the 1920s and 1930s, designed to diffuse a soft ambient glow through porcelain or earthenware.

These lamps were primarily crafted from glazed earthenware, porcelain, or terracotta, often decorated with hand-painted polychrome enamels and cold-painted metallic detailing.

Authentic period examples typically display incised model numbers, maker marks near the base, geometric or orientalist motif styling, and period-appropriate ceramic casting marks.

Place the piece on a dark wood sideboard, mantlepiece, or bedside table to create a focal point that contrasts with contemporary architectural backdrop elements.

Dust the surface gently with a soft dry microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage delicate cold-painted details or surface glazes.
