Pair Of Oil Lamps In Sèvres Porcelain And Bronze, Napoleon III Period – Mid-19th Century

Superb kerosene lamps in Sèvres porcelain, functional, decorated with gilded bronze on a Sèvres blue background, a color made famous by the eponymous factory. The original glass globes with flower motifs rest on a spout decorated with foliage, scrolls, flowers, pearls and acanthus leaves. The barrels are topped with fixed dome-shaped lids, decorated with flower cartridges, bordered with delicately chiseled gilded bronze collars. These shafts, with inverted balusters, also present scenes in cartouches showing, on one side, the ballad of a lady in the company of her two children, and on the other side, a plant composition. Each of its lamps rests on a pedestal whose bronze base is chiselled with acanthus leaves. Whether or not they light up dark winter nights, these kerosene lamps will enhance your decoration with their size and charm. ******** Period: Mid-19th Century Excellent condition.
