Ormolu mounted celadon porcelain and pâte-sur-pâte vase-form lamp

Celadon glazed porcelain mounted on elegant gilt-bronze, embellished with beautiful pâte-sur-pâte floral spray and motifs on either side, is what comprises this delightful Neoclassical vase-form lighting piece: a exquisite Louis XVI style porcelain lamp.

With refined, simple, yet throroughly pleasing ormolu mounts on each side, in the form of slender beams, ribbons, finials and rings, the lamp is mounted on further gilt-bronze elements to the base and to the neck, which feature friezes and beaded bands in the round.

Replete with well-matched sharp, refined, cream shades, the finest decorative element comes in the form of the two floral sprays on either side executed in the pâte-sur-pâte or 'paste-on-paste' technique, which give the piece an extra degree of vibrancy, vitality, and three-dimensionality, completeing the tonality of the celadon glaze, and giving it an ethereal Classical feel, making it a beautiful piece for interior design.
