Description from the seller
Carl Scheidig Gräfenthal - Porcelain Table Lamp - "Two Playful Cherubs" - Germany - Mid-20th Century
A charming vintage table lamp by the prestigious Carl Scheidig factory. This piece features an expressive figural group of two cherubs (putti) in a playful, vertical pose against a stylized tree trunk base. The modeling is detailed, showcasing the characteristic chubby limbs and curly hair synonymous with the high-quality Thuringian "Kunstporzellan" tradition.
The porcelain is finished in a smooth, high-gloss glaze with subtle hand-painted facial features and delicate gold gilt accents on the base.
Condition Report:
- Porcelain: Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks, hairline fractures, or professional repairs. The sculptural integrity of the fingers and toes is fully preserved.
- Electrical Fitting: The lamp retains its fitting, which shows visible surface wear. Note: As with all vintage lighting, rewiring to modern safety standards is recommended for daily use.
Details: The base includes the original "firing hole" required for the production of hollow porcelain figures.
