Full Description
This exceptional Chinoiserie giltwood standard lamp dates to circa 1910 and exemplifies the enduring appeal of early 20th century decorative lighting. Crafted during the Edwardian period, the lamp features a finely turned column and a dished, bowl-shaped base, both adorned with hand-painted landscape scenes depicting trees, foliage, and traditional architectural motifs.
Chinoiserie design reflects Europe’s long-standing fascination with East Asian art and culture, blending exotic visual elements with traditional Western craftsmanship. This lamp captures that balance beautifully, offering both sculptural presence and artistic detail.
The surface displays authentic age-related wear and paint loss, enhancing its character and originality. Left unrestored, the lamp retains the rich patina and historical integrity collectors seek. It has been fully rewired and PAT tested for modern use, fitted with a three-core braided cable and safety switch lampholder. Lampshade and bulb are not included.
A rare and decorative antique floor lamp, ideal for adding warmth, history, and visual interest to refined interiors.
