Skip to product information
Beautiful antique porcelain figural lamp on a rectangular plinth on four volute feet, layered with a platform upon which a lady stands, bearing a platter of flower heads on a stretched white cloth. The piece explodes with action; the cherub above her shoulder appears in mid flight, and her figure is kinetic with its position. Meanwhile, she stands atop large petals which decorate the pillar of the lamp, which rise like waves from a boiling sea. The colours of the piece are exquisite, both varying in tone and shade and never letting the eye grow bored.
The base for the lamp is a wonderful porcelain group made by the famous German company Conta & Boehme. For Conta & Boehme porcelain collectors, the idea of transforming a rare and valuable figure into an electric lamp may seem dubious. And yet, there exists someone who needs exactly this - and if one can use works of art in everyday life, why not?
Large and heavy, this piece is boldly declares its presence with its splendour and extravagance.
From the details, to the paint, the composition to the theme, we see the handiwork of the great German masters and craftsmen. This piece will decorate any table or mantelpiece effortlessly. Simply complement with a lampshade of your choice and it will become a regal lamp in a Rococo style.
Minor losses on the tips of the fingers of the right hand of the angel, only visible with a magnifying glass. Some minor chips are present on the leaves. Otherwise excellent antique condition, please carefully regard all photos.
