Delft Table Lamps by Tichelaar Makkum (1940-1960) with New Shades, Handpainted

About the Item

Meticulously handcrafted by Amitābha Studio in Amsterdam, Saskia & Serge are a one-of-a-kind pair of table lamps made from vintage, hand-painted vases in the Delft style by Royal Tichelaar Makkum, the Netherlands' oldest ceramic factory, established in 1572. Paired with new sunny yellow satin lampshades handmade in an Amsterdam atelier, these lamps offer a harmonious blend of historical significance and modern elegance. The lamp bases were preserved in their original form, and no alterations were made to the integrity of the vases. The vases, which form the bases of the lamps, were handmade and hand-painted by different Royal Tichelaar Makkum’s master painters between 1940-60, as indicated by the markings on the bottom. are marked by their distinct garden scenes, each featuring a single bird and a unique arrangement of flowers. The three panels on each vase showcase similar floral motifs, such as peonies and chrysanthemums, but subtle variations in color and composition reveal the individual touch of the master painters. Each bird, carefully detailed, stands as a unique centerpiece within the scenes, allowing the distinct character of the painter to shine through. These vivid garden scenes are framed by intricate blue patterns, inspired by swirling motifs found in traditional Chinese porcelain—a clear influence on Delft ceramics. This fusion of Eastern and Western artistic traditions reflects the rich cultural exchange that shaped these pieces, resulting in lamps that are both historically significant and visually striking. Royal Tichelaar Makkum is renowned for preserving centuries-old ceramic traditions while pushing the boundaries of contemporary design. These vases exemplify the mastery of the company's painters, who have skillfully incorporated variations in color and detail that make each piece unique. The vases' markings further attest to their authenticity and heritage. The meticulous craftsmanship combined with the artistic legacy of Royal Tichelaar Makkum ensures these lamps will become timeless statement pieces in any interior. Please note, the lamp is fully wired for use in the U.S. Additionally, the listed height includes the lampshade.
