Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Chinoiserie is a decorative style inspired by East Asian art and design, popularised in Western Europe during the 18th century and revived in the 1920s. In lighting, it typically features lacquered wood, gilded detail, and stylized figurative or floral motifs on turned standard lamp columns.

These lamps were constructed primarily from turned hardwoods such as beech, mahogany, or birch. The surfaces were treated with dark lacquer or enamel paints, then detailed with metallic leaf or painted gold highlights depicting traditional Chinese scenery.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-applied painted lacquerwork showing age-consistent craquelure or subtle surface wear. They feature turned timber baluster stems, heavy circular bases, and period-appropriate electrical fitments.

Position the standard lamp in an empty corner or alongside a sofa or armchair to create a focused reading nook. The dark lacquered finish and gold embellishments contrast well against modern neutral wall shades or dark floral wallpapers.

Dust the lacquered surface regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid wet wiping, chemical solvents, or abrasive polishes, as moisture and solvents can dissolve old lacquer and remove delicate painted detailing.
