The body features a turquoise-blue ground with colorful floral decoration in reds, yellows and whites, accented by dark outlining and a brass base with naturally aged patina. Although the original upper lamp components are no longer present, the form remains highly decorative and works beautifully as a sculptural object, vase-like accent or focal point in a collected interior.

The combination of saturated color, intricate enamel decoration and aged brass gives the piece wonderful visual depth and unmistakably French character.

Measures approximately 10” tall, 6.25” wide and 6.25” deep.

In good antique condition with surface wear, patina and age-related imperfections consistent with its late-19th-century origin. The original upper lamp components are no longer present. See less
