Meiji period Cloissone Lamp

About the Item

A beautiful finely done Meiji period cloissoné table lamp on a custom made 1920s pierced brass base. Beautiful done polychrome enameled mythical beasts add a touch of mystique to the lamp. The vase dates the mid to late 19th Century which was considered one of the best periods for cloissoné. The lamp is in excellent shape, and the brass work was burnished instead of polished to give it a more deep bronze look. The lamp has no dents or dings.
