Pair of Mid-Century Chinese Champlevé Enamel Table Lamps with Custom Shades


$1,900

About

Dress a buffet or a console with this colorful pair of oil shaped cloisonne table lamps; created in China circa 1950, each tall piece sits on a carved mahogany base and features floral and leaf motifs in the cloisonné technique (decorative work in which enamel, glass, or gemstones are separated by strips of flattened wire placed edgeways on a metal backing). The urn shaped vases are further embellished by a brass trim at the base and the top rim. These elegant lamps are in excellent condition with rich colors in the blue, teal and gold palette and ready for use; place them on a pair of nightstands in a master suite or in an entry way on a pair consoles! Custom silk shades and decorative finials included. In antiquity, the cloisonné or champlevé technique was mostly used for jewelry and small fittings for clothes, weapons or similar small objects decorated with geometric or schematic designs, with thick cloisonné walls. In the Byzantine Empire techniques using thinner wires were developed to allow more pictorial images to be produced, mostly used for religious images and jewelry, and by then always using enamel. By the 14th century this enamel technique had spread to China, where it was soon used for much larger vessels such as bowls and vases; the technique remains common in China to the present day, and cloisonné enamel objects using Chinese-derived styles were produced in the West from the 18th century. Measures: 8″ diameter 30″ height.
