Electrified gas lamp with a hand-painted Chinese porcelain body

Electrified Gas Lamp with Hand-Painted Chinese Porcelain Body (19th Century) An antique steeped in history and charm, transformed into a modern and inviting light fixture. This elegant lamp is a 19th-century collector's item. Originally designed as a gas lamp, it was later electrified by professionals for contemporary use. Its most striking feature is its vase-shaped porcelain body, hand-painted in a captivating Chinese style, or "chinoiserie." It depicts a genre scene or landscape with oriental figures in a garden or on a terrace. The color palette is vibrant, dominated by rust red (iron) and cobalt blue, with gold and other colored details. The neck and base of the vase are decorated with geometric bands and blue and red festoons, exquisitely framing the main design. It rests on a solid base of patinated brass or bronze, ensuring its stability and a perfect visual contrast with the whiteness of the porcelain. It retains its original burner support, into which the electrical socket is integrated. A glass lampshade completes its classic aesthetic. Dating from around the 19th century, it possesses undeniable historical value and authenticity. Dimensions: 61-36 cm high X 15 cm in diameter.
