Vintage Fragonard-Style Porcelain Urn Lamp in Burgundy & Gold Gilt
Vintage Fragonard-Style Porcelain Urn Lamp in Burgundy & Gold Gilt
This monumental 31" table lamp presents a sophisticated blend of French-inspired elegance and mid-century craftsmanship. The urn-shaped porcelain body is finished in a rich oxblood burgundy glaze, accented by hand-painted vignettes of courting couples in a pastoral setting.
Extensive 22K gold gilt scrollwork and floral filigree encrust the shoulders and base, framing the central romantic scenes. The piece is further elevated by ornate cast-metal handles in a traditional Louis XV style and rests upon a pierced brass pedestal base. It is topped with a vintage cream silk hexagonal shade featuring a decorative fringe trim, adding a touch of Hollywood Regency glamour to the traditional form.

Condition
Very Good Vintage Condition. The porcelain body is free of chips, cracks, or visible crazing. The gold gilt shows minor age-appropriate wear, primarily near the handles, adding a light patina that confirms its vintage heritage. The brass base has original oxidation consistent with age. The lamp is in working order with a standard 3-way switch. The shade is original and shows light dust and minor surface wear but remains structurally sound.
An impressive statement piece for a grand millennial interior, this lamp brings timeless European charm and a regal color palette to any master suite or formal living room.
