An exquisite vintage Chinese cinnabar lacquer lamp, intricately hand-carved with traditional floral and landscape motifs.
The deep red lacquer body rests on an ornate brass base and is topped with a natural agate finial, adding warmth and sophistication.

Each panel features detailed scenes of scholars among mountains and trees, framed by Greek-key and floral borders - a fine example of mid-century cinnabar craftsmanship.
Heavy and well-balanced (approx. 3.5 lbs), this lamp displays beautifully and provides an inviting glow when lit.

Condition: Good vintage condition with light age wear and a small chip at the base (see photos). Fully functional.

Shade not included.

Cinnabar lacquer has been a prized art form in China for centuries, created by applying dozens of thin layers of red lacquer and carving each one by hand. This lamp captures that legacy beautifully - transformed from a traditional carved cinnabar vase into a striking mid-century table lamp. The rich crimson color, brass mount, and natural agate finial combine Chinoiserie elegance with Hollywood Regency glamour. Perfect as a statement lamp on an entry console, nightstand, or living room accent table, it bridges classic craftsmanship and timeless design.
