Antique Neoclassical Celadon Pâte-Sur-Pâte & Ormolu Table Lamp
An exquisite late 19th-century Neoclassical table lamp, featuring a celadon-glazed porcelain body adorned with fine pâte-sur-pâte relief. This piece is a masterclass in textures, balancing the translucent "cameo" effect of the porcelain against the sharp, lustrous detail of professional gilt-bronze (ormolu) mounts.
-
Pâte-sur-Pâte Detail: The lamp features delicate white slip-relief ornamentation, a technique famously perfected by Minton in England and Sèvres in France. The relief work provides a subtle 3D artistry that "glows" when under light.
-
Celadon Glaze: The porcelain body is finished in a classic Celadon glaze, prized for its calming, pale green hue and historical association with imperial Chinese ceramics.
-
Ormolu Mounts: Elevated by high-quality gilt-bronze mounts, including decorative friezes, a banded collar, and twin ormolu rings that serve as neoclassical "handles."
-
Neoclassical Architecture: The lamp sits upon a substantial gilt-bronze base with architectural decorative bands, providing a heavy, stable foundation (3.7 kg).
-
Modern Functionality: While retaining its antique soul, the piece has been meticulously cleaned, professionally rewired with 3-core braided fabric cable, and PAT inspected for safety.
