About the Item

Beautifully sculpted and crafted in porcelain, in shades of white and slate blue, this rare and lovely table lamp depicts Persephone, goddess of spring, in bas relief. The lamp was made by the famous Lenox porcelain company in Trenton, New Jersey, which made a series of very finely crafted sculptures in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. This is the only example of this lamp we have seen. (The lamp base is 12.5" high; with the socket, it is 15.5" high.).
