Pair of Chinoisserie Chocolate Brown Wooden Lamps, early 20th c., the figural covers retain the original chinoisserie decoration, fitted with custom pleated paper shades, H. to top of finial- 34 in. Provenance: Gracie, New York, New York.

Condition consistent with age and use. The shades are observed with areas of denting and the seams are starting to lift. The figures have a consistent crackle to the painted finish with intermittent chips noted throughout. The lids are observed with some chips to the painted surface with losses; one having more wear than the other. One lamp body has an approximately ½ in. abrasion loss to the painted surface at back, and two mild cracks near the same area. Upon close inspection it is apparent that the lamp’s original decoration has been painted over and some mild texture is detected throughout both, but this does not distract from the overall presentation. Some mild cracking is noted to the paint at the base where the vase and support connect; it is more apparent on one than the other. A delightful pair.
