A beautiful vintage table lamp made of high-quality Limoges porcelain, manufactured by Porcelaines Ternet (Limoges, France). This elegant piece likely dates from the 1960s-1980s and is a classic example of French porcelain craftsmanship.
The lamp base has a graceful, twisted (spiral-shaped) silhouette with a subtle relief texture, richly decorated with hand-painted flowers (pink and white wild roses/anemone-like flowers with green leaves) and delicate gold accents on the rims and base. The markings on the underside speak volumes:
"LIMOGES FRANCE" in a circle with a monogram
"Porcelaines TERNET Limoges - France"
"Réhaussée main" (hand-heightened/refined by hand – gold and details applied by hand)
This guarantees authenticity and provenance from the renowned Limoges porcelain region. Ternet was a respected, smaller workshop that primarily exported to Europe and the US, focusing on refined decorative objects. Dimensions:
Total height including socket: 40 cm
Base width: 18 cm
The lamp is in good vintage condition (no chips, cracks, or restorations visible in photos – original socket and cord included). Perfect as atmospheric lighting in a classic, romantic, or French-inspired interior, or as a collectible for lovers of Limoges porcelain.
Ideal for collectors of mid-century French porcelain, decorative lamps, or simply as a stylish accent in a living room, bedroom, or hallway.
