The name was chosen in honor of their father, Erdmann.

Offered here is a stunningly beautiful Rococo hand painted porcelain boudoir lamp made by the E S porcelain factory. The mark on the bottom dates this piece to sometime between 1902 and 1910. (The electric cord is obviously dated later). The background colors of pink and white provide a perfect backdrop for the extensive delicate gold detailing as well as the two hand painted courting couple scenes, one on each side. Stands 10 1/2" tall (up to the top of the socket).The exquisite curves of this piece scream Romanticism. Each stretch of the more-or-less equilateral triangle base measures 3 3/4".

Exceptionally fine condition with no chips, cracks, or unusual wear. The electrical parts work just fine. NO BULB OR SHADE INCLUDED. See less
