Porcelain de Paris Napoleon III French Pair of Oil Lamps 'Without Lampshade'

About the Item

We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Originally these lamps were oil lamps, over time the mechanism with the wick has been modified to electrify them and give them another aesthetic purpose; the finishes are in gilded bronze that time has slightly aged, but made more interesting; the body is in fine French porcelain ("Porcelain de Paris"); the exceptional decorations, cameos with heads of women of the time, are entirely hand-painted with meticulous attention to detail, they are small works of art! The lamps have these paintings on the front and back, so they are enjoyable at 360°, the pieces were made between 1850 and 1855 respecting ancient traditions and the raw material (kaolin) by master craftsmen. “Porcelain de Paris” is a term that refers collectively to the various porcelain decorating workshops and studios within and around Paris, France. It is not the name of any single company or producer and is usually applied to craft objects of excellent workmanship produced between the mid and late nineteenth century. The makers are in some cases obscure and generally unknown or have created only a few and rare pieces. Antique porcelain objects from Paris are the most desired by collectors and are present in many museums around the world. The lamps are supplied without a lampshade so that everyone can choose the color in a personal way to match their furniture. Warning: the electrical system is new but the wiring is European, the compatibility of the voltage in other states must always be verified by an electrician before use. Measures without lampshade diameter cm.15, height cm.40.For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.
