Full Description
This exceptional pair of oriental decorated ceramic lamps exemplifies refined decorative craftsmanship with a distinctly romantic and timeless feel. Each lamp features a striking square ceramic body finished in a deep black ground, delicately adorned with fine cream floral stems and gentle foliage motifs. The lightly textured surface adds depth and tactility, allowing the decoration to catch the light beautifully and highlighting the artisan nature of the ceramic work.
The square forms transition gracefully into softly rounded necks, subtly lined with a cream border that echoes the decorative detailing below. Each lamp is anchored on a solid mahogany base with classic bracketed feet, lending warmth, structure, and a sense of traditional furniture craftsmanship.
Completing the composition are luxurious black silk-like shades, which enhance the dramatic contrast of the ceramic bases while maintaining a soft, ambient glow. The shades show only the faintest signs of age, barely noticeable, and entirely in keeping with the lamps’ character.
Both lamps are in excellent overall condition, free from chips or cracks, and have been fully rewired with black cable. PAT tested for safety, they offer dependable functionality while retaining their decorative charm. Whether displayed as a symmetrical pair or used individually, these lamps bring oriental elegance and classic sophistication to both traditional and eclectic interiors.
