Origin & Age: Crafted in China, circa late Qing dynasty style (19th century)

Materials: Solid bronze, hand-cast — the dragon is rendered in raised relief, giving a sculptural, three-dimensional depth

Lamp Form: Originally likely an oil or decorative vessel; converted to electric with a light fitting.

Dimensions: Approximately 14-1/2" high, 5″ wide, and 5″ deep

Condition: Good antique condition — subtle signs of age and wear, natural patina, and minor imperfections consistent with its vintage character

Style & Symbolism: The dragon motif, deeply steeped in Chinese culture, symbolizes power, strength, and good fortune. Its dynamic posture suggests movement, almost as if coiling mid-flight — a true conversation piece.

Why You’ll Love It:
This lamp brings drama and cultural richness to any room — ideal for an entryway, living room, or study. It pairs beautifully with traditional or eclectic interiors, and doesn’t just light a space — it commands attention.

Care & Shipping Notes:
Because of its solid bronze construction, this piece is substantial in weight. It should be handled with care. The wiring has been modernized, but vintage electrified lamps should always be plugged into a properly grounded outlet. See less
