Pair of Deft-Style Chinoiserie Urn Lamps with Banner-Bearer Decoration
A refined and atmospheric pair of chinoiserie urn lamps, decorated in the classic Delft-style manner with whimsical figural scenes rendered in a restrained blue-black grisaille palette. Each urn is painted with a lively banner-bearing attendant, shown standing on a stylized rocky outcrop and holding a long, wind-swept pennant. The flowing banner introduces movement and narrative, a hallmark of European chinoiserie design inspired by 17th- and 18th-century interpretations of East Asian imagery.
The urns are finished in a softly mottled, stone-like ground that enhances the illusion of age and lends depth to the decoration. Their elegant baluster form is complemented by cross-cut ebonized wood bases, which visually ground the lighter ceramic bodies and give the lamps an architectural presence well suited to traditional, eclectic, or layered modern interiors.
Each lamp is fitted with brass hardware and has been rewired for modern use. The pair reads equally well as decorative objects or as functional lighting, ideal for flanking a console, chest, or mantel.
Dimensions (each):
22.5" H to top of socket
19" H to top of urn
9" diameter Base:
7.5" square ebonized wood
Condition:
Good vintage condition. Decorative surfaces show intentional aging, tonal variation, and light wear consistent with style and use. Rewired and ready for installation. Shades not included.
A charming and well-balanced pair of Delft-style chinoiserie lamps, distinguished by animated banner-bearer decoration, elegant proportions, and a refined, timeworn surface—ideal for collectors and designers seeking classic chinoiserie with subtle narrative appeal.
