Description
This beautiful - hand painted Japanese lamp is signed by the artist of the base. The lamp is delicately hand painted with gilt gold and turquoise designs. It is stunning.
The porcelain body is positioned on a gilt wood base with a felted bottom. The wiring is relatively new ~c2008. It has been checked for safely and is ready to plug in and use.
Although not pictured I have and will send the original harp. The lamp measures 17" from the base to the top of the socket and is ~8" in diameter.
Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: There are no chips - crazing or cracks to the lamp. There are no scratches or fading to the hand painted designs.
The wiring has been professionally checked for safety and it is ready to plug in and use. The original harp - not pictured is included with the original and modest finial.
The top cap is a faux bronze that has some scratches and patina spots. Please see the images above for reference. The top cap can easily be replaced but once the shade is attached they aren't readily noticeable.
