Mid 19th Century Continental Porcelain Urn Converted to a Lamp

About the Item

19th c. continental urn converted to a table lamp with gilt and polychrome enamel on porcelain, a painted wood base and a brass stem and socket. Despite having a chip to the stem of the vase. this lamp had great presence. It depicts beautifully dressed male and female Grecian figures on a pale sage green background. The gilded upper portion of the lamp is ringed with subtly painted acanthus leaves. Boreas, the North Wind, is depicted in a pair of medallions in relief on opposite sides of the urn. Dimensions: Approx. 22"h (to socket) 6"W x 6"D. Condition: Good/Fair, approx. 1" chip to stem of vase, spots of gilding loss. Images remain crisp and the overall look of the lamp is lovely.
