About the Item

A large and exquisite pair of matching Japanese Cloisonné table lamps on ebonised bases, profusely decorated with polychrome enamelled mythical beasts inspired by dragons and birds that add a touch of mystique to the vases. This pair of Japanese cloisonné vases date from the early 20th century during the Meiji period (1868 to 1912), and showcase the exceptional craftsmanship typical of this era. The striking glossy black background beautifully contrasts with the detailed panel decorations featuring mythical beasts and the colourful geometric and floral patterns that make the vases truly eye-catching. The vases are in fantastic condition, with very little wear, apart from one small dent at the rear of one of the lamps where the cable comes out - so not obviously noticeable (Please see last two images). The lamps measure an impressive 73cm with their new white pleated shades and have been professionally rewired with black 3-core cable and plug, and are ready for use. Each lamp measures 73cm H x 42cm W.
