This electrified celadon porcelain oil lamp is a remarkable piece dating from the second half of the 19th century, during the reign of Napoleon III. It perfectly embodies the eclectic and refined taste of this era. The body of the lamp takes the form of a celadon porcelain urn, whose pale green hue evokes the delicacy of Asian ceramics. It is subtly decorated with translucent white flowers in slight relief, bringing a touch of poetry and finesse to the whole. These floral motifs almost seem to float on the surface, capturing the light with discreet grace. The scrollwork and foliage decorations are made of finely chiseled gilt bronze, particularly at the base and neck of the lamp. The gilt bronze adds a visual warmth that elegantly contrasts with the coolness of the celadon. The frosted glass globe, placed at the top, is adorned with curved grooves that gently diffuse the light, creating subtle reflections and accentuating the lamp's antique charm when lit. ******* Period: Second half of the 19th century Very good condition.
