Beautiful lamp in Bayeux porcelain with Canton-inspired decoration typical of the Langlois period of the mid-19th century.
The lamp stands on a wooden base, frequently used under vases, which accentuates its Asian character.
Made of beautiful white porcelain with generous enamel, this lamp is flawless.
The bronze base discreetly encircles the porcelain body.
The oil spout, also in bronze and brass, is finely chased.
A bronze collar decorated with small flowers of all shapes and petals supports the brass glass guide, adorned with a pampre.
The glass itself is set in a magnificent crystal globe, also engraved with a bunch of grapes and vine leaves. This globe adds a soft touch to the lighting.
The Canton-inspired decoration on the body of the lamp features two large cartouches, each with a lively scene: a group of women on one side and a seated figure who appears to be a merchant in a public place.
These two scenes of life are separated by a rich pattern of flowers and butterflies on a white background, also found on the base and upper rim of the lamp.
Although not vivid, the colors are very present and bring a lot of cheerfulness to this beautiful object that you'll love to showcase in your home.
