About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This 19th-century oil lamp rests on a celadon porcelain vase from China, dating from the Daoguang period (1820-1850), a period highly prized for the fineness of its porcelain. The piece is distinguished by its rich polychrome relief decoration, depicting a pheasant amidst floral and vegetal motifs, a testament to the refinement of Asian craftsmanship during this era. The structure incorporates a gilt bronze mount in the Napoleon III style, finely chased with foliate and ornamental designs. The contrast between the softness of the pale green celadon background and the brilliance of the gilt bronze lends the whole a majestic presence. The meticulous details of the bird's plumage and the botanical elements underscore the technical mastery of the glazed porcelain. This porcelain is free of cracks or chips. Its visual appeal is remarkable, especially when placed on a console table. The object is in a state of preservation reflecting its age, retaining its historical character and original patina. The bronze mount displays natural oxidation, attesting to its authenticity and its history through the ages. This vase, imported from China, has its original hole drilled at the base for the connecting rod, a common practice among the leading Parisian bronze casters around 1860. This exceptional piece, which once graced the grand salons of Paris, will find its place in a classic or eclectic interior, adding a touch of history and elegance. It harmonizes particularly well with antique furniture or Asian-inspired decorative elements.
