Green Chinoiserie Candlestick Table Lamp

About the Item

A very decorative Chinoiserie candlestick lamp, painted with oriental motifs on green ground. Probably English, mid-20th century. Decoration distressed. Green japanning is rare and highly and sought after. Why we like it A very chic small lamp to add a playful accent to an eclectic interior. Oriental lacquer was highly prized in Europe and had been used in furniture-making since the 17th century. This fashion saw a surge in popularity in the early 19th century England, promoted by the newly built Brighton Pavilion, fashionably furnished for the Prince of Wales, future King George IV. Such luxurious items were popular in England during the height of fashion for oriental exoticism, called chinoiserie in Europe. Height: 14 in / 36 cm Diameter: 5.25 in / 13.5 cm. Please note that the shade is shown for illustration only and is not included with the lamps. May be wired for the US or Continental Europe upon request.

Early 20th Century Green Marble and Gilt Bronze Table Lamp
Located in Richmond, London
A superb quality gilt bronze mounted urn in Verde Antico marble, now fitted as a table lamp. France or Italy, late 19th – early 20th century. Why we like it This table lamp is crafted from rare Verde Antico marble, quarried in Larissa, Thessaly, Greece. Known for its deep green color and distinct white and black veining, this marble is valued among collectors and designers for its unique character and scarcity. The stone is paired with finely cast gilt bronze mounts that provide a pleasing contrast and add subtle elegance to the piece. Verde Antico marble is considered rare and historically significant. The Corsi Collection of Decorative Stones at Oxford University Museum of Natural History catalogue entry 566. (143.2) reads: “Another of a lighter green, with white and more definite black markings. The two amazing tables in the Galleria degli Animali in the Vatican Museum are of this type. (Very rare).” Image attached to the listing. The Galleria degli Animali, or Hall of Animals, was created during the papacy of Pius VI (1775–1799) as a “stone zoo” of sorts, using ancient sculptures that were often restored and occasionally reimagined. This ambitious project brought together prominent artists of the 18th century, including Francesco Antonio Franzoni from Carrara. The artworks in this space reflect themes of nature and hunting, with coloured marbles chosen to suggest the textures and colours of animal fur, feathers, or to create eye-catching contrasts. See last two images in the listing. Combining Verde Antico marble with high-quality gilt bronze accents, this lamp is a distinctive piece that brings historical character and timeless appeal to any space. May be wired for any country. Lampshade not included. Height without shade: 53 cm / 21 in. Would you like to see more beautiful things from our collection?
