Pair of English Red Tole Peinte Tea Canister Lamps with Orientalist Landscapes

About the Item

Late 19th c., England, a pair of red enameled sheet metal tole table lamps, painted with Orientalist landscapes. The landscapes are encircled by a gold painted border. Each of the two landscapes shows a different scene. One shows a scene of mountains and water with several pagodas visible in the background. The other shows a more Western style scene again with mountains and water but the structures depicted appear to be castle ruins. Tole lamps are a perennial decorating favourite. Antique versions such as the pair offered here are rarely duplicated and each has their own personalities. Note: To keep shipping costs as low as possible for the buyer, we will pay to have the lamps packed by a professional packing service. This allows for parcel post as opposed to more expensive white glove shipping. Dimensions: 17"h x 8"dia, 31"h (to finial) Condition: Good, decoration well preserved, surface grunge, light rubbing and scratches to enamel, with small dents to back section, wiring untested.
