circa 20th C. Chinese Porcelain Vases Turned-to-Lamps with French Ormolu Mounts

About the Item

An Unusual Pair of 20th Century Chinese Porcelain Vases Turned-to-Lamps with French Ormolu Mounts. This is truly an unusual pair of lamps, with a black and turquoise blue salmon roe fish ground and an elaborate and unusual number of round cartouches, each with a different interior design. The cartouche roundels are hand-enameled and include peaches, flowers, Daoist symbols, and many more Chinese inspired designs. Each lamp is hand-enameled with a gorgeous array of details and sophistication. The vases are flanked with gilt elephant-ear handles and have their original lids, which were later converted to lamps to be used in any modern day setting. The porcelain vases are mounted on a pair of gorgeous French ormolu mounts, which are finished with hand-chased designs. China, Circa: 19th C. Height of Vases with Mount: 15 in.
