A beautifully hand-painted 19th-century Cantonese porcelain vase, later converted into an elegant table lamp, offered by Hutton-Clarke Antiques. This distinctive piece features classic Famille Rose enamelling, depicting detailed scenes of courtly figures, floral elements, and traditional Chinese interior architecture in vibrant pinks, greens, oranges, and blues.
Adorned with applied foo dog handles and mounted on an intricately carved hardwood base with scrolled legs, the lamp has been sympathetically adapted for modern use with a brass fitting and vintage-style wiring.
This lamp is a striking combination of Oriental craftsmanship and decorative utility, ideal for collectors of Chinese antiques or those seeking a statement piece with historical charm.
