Антикварна лампа Gien

An antique electric table lamp with a faience bulb from the GIEN manufactory. The neo-Renaissance style hand-paintings characteristic of their products are unmistakable. The deep cobalt color of the background successfully emphasizes the fanciful cartouche-like compositions combined with ribbons and mountains of oak leaves. The cartouches are filled with images of heraldic symbols. The gilded bronze decor advantageously complements the blue body of the vase. Electrofication is a later modification of the product, but has some authenticity and has a French cartridge.
