This nineteenth-century table lamp takes the form of a Chinese-style Famille Verte vase with a cobalt blue ground and inset painted panels depicting a mountain scene with a pagoda building amongst flowers. Ormolu mounts form the base, scroll handles, and collar, complemented by a cream-coloured pleated fabric lampshade and a dark finial. The porcelain body features polychrome enamels within the white reserves, contrasting against the rich dark blue glaze. Measuring 53 cm high, the piece suits traditional interiors and sits comfortably upon a sideboard top within an English country house setting to provide ambient lighting in a living room, hallway, or study.

FAQs

Famille Verte refers to Chinese porcelain decorated predominantly in green enamel palettes over glazes, developed during the Qing Dynasty. In the nineteenth century, many of these decorative vessels were imported to Europe and fitted with gilt bronze mounts to serve as table lamps.

These lamps typically feature a hard-paste porcelain body decorated with overglaze enamels, paired with cast and chased gilt bronze (ormolu) bases, handles, and electrical fittings, topped with fabric lampshades.

Authentic pieces feature translucent green, iron-red, and aubergine overglaze enamels applied over painted reserve panels. Look for subtle hand-painted variations, hand-chased metal mounts, and signs of age such as oxidation or gentle wear on the metal base.

Position the lamp on a dark wood sideboard, console table, or desk to highlight its cobalt blue ground and gilded details. Pair it with neutral textiles or traditional mahogany furniture to complement its classic aesthetic.

Dust the porcelain vessel and shade regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or feather duster. Avoid abrasive chemical cleaners or water on the gilt bronze mounts, as moisture can cause tarnishing or degrade the original finish.
