Vintage 1940s Chinoiserie figural table lamp depicting a serene robed female figure in the style of Guanyin, accompanied by a sculptural crane and stylized tree branch. The composition reflects the fascination with Asian-inspired design that influenced American interiors during the late 1930s and 1940s.
The lamp is molded in chalkware with hand-applied polychrome finishes in soft celadon green, muted rose, charcoal, and ivory tones. The figure stands gracefully atop an organic base with flowing robes and delicate facial features, while the crane and branch create an openwork sculptural element that adds depth and visual movement.
Chinoiserie figural lamps like this were popular decorative pieces in Hollywood Regency interiors and classic mid-century American homes, where Asian-inspired motifs were used to add sculptural interest and cultural reference to traditional interiors.
The lamp is paired with a high-quality pleated shade produced by Stiffel, whose shades are known for their excellent construction and refined proportions. The shade complements the period aesthetic while casting a soft, diffused light.
This piece works especially well on a console, side table, or nightstand in interiors that incorporate Chinoiserie, Hollywood Regency, traditional, or layered eclectic design schemes.

Vintage condition with surface wear consistent with age, including small paint losses and patina that contribute to its character. One arm of the figure has a break as shown in photos. The lamp remains stable and fully functional, and the sculptural form still presents well.
