Item Details
Description
18TH CENTURY
Each lanterns consists of three parts: a base, a goblet-shaped stand, and a lampshade. The base has a protective guard protruding from it; the exterior of the main part of the base is decorated with a pattern of intertwined lotus plants on a greenishblue
glaze background, while the protective guard is decorated in openwork with a guaizi dragon pattern. A goblet-shaped stand is affixed to the top of the base, supporting a two-layered copper gilt rack on which stands a copper gilt rectangular
hood. The four sides of the hood are inland with translucent white glass. The hood would originally have contained candles for lighting, but a previous owner has modified the lamp to take modern light bulbs, making this an elegant, modern piece
suitable for use in the home. This pair of elegant, beautifully colored lamps, emitting a golden radiance, creates an atmosphere redolent of a luxurious palace.H: 46 cm
