A fine pair of Louis Philippe period tôle column lamps, beautifully decorated with hand-painted polychrome floral motifs reserved against a rich black ground. The elegant columnar forms display the restrained neoclassical influence characteristic of the Louis Philippe era, while the vibrant painted decoration lends a charming decorative quality and warmth.
France, circa 1845.
Height: 20 in.
Executed in painted tôle — the lacquered and decorated metalwork highly favoured in 19th century France — the lamps possess a sophisticated balance between practicality and ornament. Their scale makes them particularly versatile for use on consoles, guéridons, bedside tables, or bibliothèque interiors.
