"Pair Of Important Napoleon III Porcelain Lamps"
Superb pair of large porcelain lamps finely painted with genre scenes and bouquets of flowers in gold framed reserves on a sky blue background, the eight cartouches with different decorations, gilt bronze mounts with lion heads holding a ring draped in the mouth. They were formerly gas mounted, hence the hole in the base. It bears a Sevres mark under the foot.
