Meiji Period Japanese Bronze Oil Lamp in Chinese Taste with A.W. Burner, c.1900
About the Item
A late 19th to early 20th century Japanese export bronze oil lamp in the Chinese style, retaining its original Belgian A.W. burner. The body is cast in patinated bronze with pierced fretwork panels and applied gilt roundels featuring stylised dragons in high relief. The lamp stands on an ornate tripod base with foliate scroll feet and a Greek key frieze.
This piece reflects the late Meiji period tradition of producing finely cast metalwork for export, incorporating Chinese decorative motifs that were fashionable among Western buyers of the time.
The burner is stamped "Lampe Dite Electrique A.W. Bruxelles" and "Lampe Sans Suintement A.W. Déposé", indicating Belgian manufacture, c.1880–1910. The underside of the base has been drilled, likely for later electrical conversion. A dent is present to the side of the font, and the original shade is not included.

Japanese Silver Wire Cloisonne Vase Lamp, Meiji Period, c 1900, Japan
Located in Austin, TX
A vibrant Japanese turquoise ground and silver wire cloisonne vase, now mounted as a lamp, Meiji Period, circa 1900, Japan.
The tall vase of elegant rouleau shape, with a straight neck and body, slightly tapered food, and everted mouth. Crafted in the cloisonne technique upon a copper ground, the silver wires stand out and shimmer against the bright turquoise enamel ground. An ebullient design of blossoming peony (botanical) and morning glory (asago) graces the body of the vase. The large and heavy blooms of white peony especially striking and contrasting nicely with the more delicate and almost shy pastel morning glory blossoms hiding behind the large leaves.
The cloisonne enamels especially well done within the silver cloisons, with the leaves and flowers displaying masterful shading. The foot decorated with a geometric and floral border.
The vase drilled and wired and now mounted as a lamp. Set upon two wood bases. The actual lamp of brass plate, set with a single socket and tall, adjustable harp.
The lamp is topped by an antique 19th century Chinese Qing Dynasty tumble polished natural rock crystal. The crystal finial originally served as a Chinese Mandarin hat finial...
