Porcelaine de Paris - Lamp (2) - Porcelain

Two French Porcelain Lamps with Ornate Bronze Mounts.
An elegant decorative duo combining richly coloured porcelain with finely ornamented bronze mounts, in the tradition of Porcelaine de Paris.
The smaller lamp features a graceful pale-blue body encircled by a chocolate-brown band decorated with delicate flowering branches and colourful foliage. The taller example displays a striking red ground, enhanced with black accents and stylised floral decoration in white, blue and yellow.
Both rest on elaborate pierced bronze bases adorned with scrolling foliage and ornamental feet, complemented by decorative upper mounts. Their contrasting colours and graceful silhouettes create a sophisticated ensemble.
French manufacture, second half of the nineteenth century. The reference to Porcelaine de Paris describes their stylistic tradition, the precise workshop remains unidentified.
Age-related wear and patina to the bronze. One lamp has damage to its upper metal fitting. The existing wiring is non-functional.
