Large Paris Porcelain Table Lamp in the Qianlong Style

1900 - 1920
Description

This is an early 20th century Paris Porcelain table lamp of really good scale in the Chinese Qianlong style. The handsome lamp is in the finest porcelain with hand gilded relief trellis detail to the square base and flower designs to the neck of the lamp.

The body of the piece has an elegant entwined flower design in hand applied white enamel.

This has a good quality gilt metal base elevated on cast hairy paw feet. This takes a standard single large bayonet bulb.

The lamp is substantial in size so makes a good impression in any room at 88 cms in height including the shade. It is 16 cms square at the base.

The lamp has been fully rewired with gold cable and is photographed here with a new Graham and Green 40 cm pleated shade which is available to purchase separately at cost. (£65) (40 cms in diameter.

(Also available in blue) Also shown with a French Ivory pleated silk shade (£40 extra)

The price here is for the lamp only.

We also have a great pair of these listed in a similar style and size as well as another good single lamp with three light bulb capacity, please check out our other items.

UK insured packing and delivery is £20

This early 20th century Paris Porcelain table lamp follows the Chinese Qianlong style in a substantial square vase form. The white porcelain body carries a hand-applied white enamel entwined flower design, complemented by hand gilded relief trellis detail at the base and flower designs on the neck. The gilt metal base rests on cast hairy paw feet and holds a standard single large bayonet bulb, while the upper section carries a pleated fabric shade featuring vertical stripes of pink, purple, and yellow. Measuring 88 cm high by 15 cm wide and 15 cm deep overall, the piece sits well atop a sideboard in a living room, dining room, or hallway to provide functional ambient lighting with a decorative Chinoiserie accent.

FAQs

Paris porcelain refers to fine hard-paste porcelain produced by independent artisanal workshops in and around Paris from the late 18th to the 19th century. Pieces crafted in the Qianlong style reflect European interpretation of 18th-century Chinese Qing dynasty ceramics, featuring square-form vase silhouettes, intricate gold gilding, and botanical etching.

These lamps consist of a hard-paste ceramic base adorned with hand-applied overglaze gilding or enamel decoration. The porcelain body is typically mounted onto cast brass or gilded bronze hardware, fitted with internal wiring and topped with a fabric lampshade.

Authentic Paris porcelain displays a dense white translucent body, precise hand-applied gold leaf gilding, and quality metal mountings. Many Parisian workshops operated without official guild marks, so identification often relies on decorative techniques, porcelain weight, and period cast-metal components.

A porcelain vase-form table lamp serves as a focal point on a console table, sideboard, or large writing desk. Pairing the traditional gilded white porcelain base with a patterned or pleated silk shade creates visual harmony between classic heritage decor and modern layered schemes.

Dust the porcelain vase and metal mountings regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid applying abrasive pads, chemical solvents, or liquid polished cleaners, as these can wear away fragile gold leaf gilding and original surface finishes.
