A refined matched pair of antique Dutch ceramic lamps made by Royal Delft (De Porceleyne Fles) in the Louis XV style with baluster vases, hand-painted in rich cobalt blue tones with floral cartouches and rococo motifs, and finished with new pleated silk shades. Professionally converted with brass fittings, newly wired with new sockets and fabric-wrapped cords. Height stated includes the shades. Made in 1905 at De Porceleyne Fles (Royal Delft), these Louis XV style baluster vases represent early 20th-century Rococo Revival production, hand-painted in layers of Delft blues with a strong pictorial touch. Bases marked with the year code AA and the painter's monogram PJG. The lamps are complemented by new deep blue pleated silk shades, tailored and classically crisp. Conversion using non-invasive methods to preserve the ceramic forms; the pair is ready to be placed and used immediately.
