Pair of turquoise opaline glass table lamps in the Napoleon III style, dating from 1850–1900.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid and elegant pair of Napoleon III style table lamps, dating from the late 19th century or early 20th century, originally born as oil lamps and subsequently expertly converted for electric use.
The central body is made of fine blue cerulean/intense blue opaline glass, adorned with delicate hand-painted floral decorations in gold. The lion-paw base and the decorative collars are in bronze or brass cast richly chased with ornamental motifs typical of the era.
Each lamp is topped by its original frosted/smoothed spherical glass globe, completed by the classic cylindrical glass chimney that lends lift and authenticity to the silhouette.

Characteristics and Details
* Style: Napoleon III / Eclectic
* Materials: Opaline glass, bronze/brass, frosted and clear glass
* Era: Late 19th century / Early 20th century
* Electrification: Electrical system not compliant with current CE regulations, equipped with wire with switch and plug (bulbs not present).
* Dimensions (approx.): Overall height cm. 77. Base diameter cm 17.
* Condition: Excellent aesthetic and structural conditions. The opaline is intact, with no cracks or chips evident. The bronze shows a beautiful original patina of the time.
The lamps emit a warm, atmospheric light, perfect for both classic interiors and to give a vintage and sophisticated touch to a modern furnishing (on a dresser, a dining table, or in a living room).
