About the Item
A Pair of French Empire

French, circa 1815

Related to the Argand Lamp, the "Quinquet" lamp, after Antoine-Arnoult Quinquet, a pharmacist in Paris, introduced a much-improved version with more brightness. Its success made it the most popular lamp of the early 19th century, until it was replaced by Kerosene lamps around 1850.
This pair of tôle peinte appliques is closely related to a design from the atelier of Deharme, now in the Bibliothèque Marmottan. Established in 1792, the Parisian "Manufacture de Vernis sur Métaux" Deharme specialized predominantly in varnished or gilt-japanned tôle pieces, receiving important commissions from Napoleon, the Empress Joséphine, as well the King of Naples.
