Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1900s:
Cast bronze with hand-chased diaper grounds: metalwork from the late Meiji era.
Pitted surface on the fired enamel: traditional champlevé before modern smooth synthetic enamels.
Pierced scroll handles cast with the body: Japanese vase forms around 1900.
Natural oxidisation and darkening in the bronze recesses: decades of handling and age.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This pair of large Japanese champlevé enamel bronze vase-form table lamps dates from circa 1900-1925 during the Meiji period. Each lamp stands on a circular dark wood base and incorporates twin scroll handles alongside a central body decorated with Egyptian ornaments rendered in polychrome enamel inlay. The pieces are finished with off-white pleated fabric shades of a conical profile, complemented by patinated bronze surfaces and wired with fabric cable. The overall height reaches 62 cm with a base diameter of 20 cm and a shade diameter of 43 cm. Suitable for placement on a sideboard top, this pair brings distinctive illumination to a gentleman's library or a living room study. The combination of bronze vessel construction and intricate enamelling creates a striking visual presence suited for traditional or eclectic interiors. These lamps offer functional lighting whilst serving as decorative works of art within a domestic setting.

FAQs

Champleve is a decorative technique where troughs or cells are carved, cast, or etched into the surface of a metal object, such as bronze, and subsequently filled with vitreous enamel paste. The object is fired and polished flat, creating defined compartments of coloured glass paste set against the surrounding exposed metal.

These pieces traditionally feature heavy cast bronze bodies decorated with vitreous enamel in mineral-based pigments such as turquoise, red, green, and dark blue. Mounting bases are often turned hardwood, and modern wiring is paired with fabric or silk pleated shades.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit significant physical weight due to thick bronze casting, along with subtle surface irregularities in the enamel work. Look for cast-in handles, geometric or archaistic patterning influenced by early Chinese bronzes, and honest surface patination consistent with age.

Positioning a symmetrical pair on a long sideboard, console table, or wide buffet creates structural balance in a living or dining space. Neutral pleated shades diffuse the light effectively while allowing the polychrome metal bases to remain the central decorative feature.

Dust metal and enamel surfaces with a soft, dry lint-free cloth or gentle brush, avoiding abrasive polishes or chemical cleaners that can damage vintage patination. Fabric shades should be cleaned using a vacuum brush attachment on a low setting.
