Pair of Thai Patinated and Gilt Bronze Male and Female Tempel Guards as Lamps

This pair of white glazed (Blanc de Chine) fluted porcelain lamps mounted on square bronze bases and topped by bronze mounts represent timeless elegance. The style is bordering art deco and they likely date to the 1940's-50's. The maker is the New York company DAV ART founded in 1917 supplied by Lenox Porcelain. Showing first grade craftsmanship all over including the accompanying porcelain and bronze teardrop finials the lamp shades compliment the tasteful appearance. Both lamps are marked with high relief company logos.

These artful table lamps feature a main rectangular body of heavy wood with black lacquered background and abstract ivory colored fragments. Each lamp is slightly different reflecting the artist behind the brushstrokes. A base of black lacquered steel rests on offset Japanese inspired feet. The flat top of the main body is similarly painted being the base for a light arm column carrying two sockets and the lampshade pole. Black lacquered rectangular finials complete the composition. The lamps are sold without the shades for ease of shipping. I have chosen traditional empire shape shades letting the straight and the circular lines compliment each other, but rectangular shades may also be a good choice. The measurements below are for the lamps without shades and finials.

A Pair of Néo-Grec Parcel-Gilt Patinated Bronze Vases Mounted as Lamps, Cast by Ferdinand Barbedienne, from the Model by Henry Cahieux. Each vase is finely cast with herm-headed handles flanking a slender elongated neck above a tapering body relief-cast with classical figures and anthemion, raised on a square Belgian black marble bases. Cast signatures 'F. BARBEDIENNE FONDEUR.' and 'HENRY CAHIEUX'. This model of vase was exhibited by Barbedienne at the 1855 Paris 'Exposition Universelle' to great acclaim.

The pair of vases together with another were described as follows: The two vases (...) selected from many exquisite and beautiful decorative works in bronze from the atelier of Messrs. Barbedienne & Cie, of Paris; they are formed, and ornamented, on the best models of the ancient Greek.
