Antique Chinese Export

Antique Lamps and the Colours of Canton

The Antique and Vintage Table Lamp Co are renowned for their range of antique decorative lighting.  Table lamps for interior lighting have been used for the past 120 years; in fact, the first light bulb was produced in the 1870’s.

Antique lamps have several distinct advantages to offer as each lamp is an original, produced as a “one off” with no element of mass production.  The company’s lamps share, with antiques in general, the advantage of improving in value over time.  

The use of antique lighting adds an element of uniqueness to an interior and can be used as bed side lamps, desk lamps, reading lamps, or, simply placed as a decorative lighting element in illuminating a room.

The company’s range of lamps includes a number of 19th century Chinese export lamps.  Here indeed is “a rose by many names”.  These export porcelains are also known as Famille Rose, Rose Medallion, Canton export and Mandarin to name just a few! 

These Famille Rose lamps were made at the great kilns of Jingdezhen and sent to the South of China, to the export port of Canton; here they were decorated in the bright palette of coloured enamels, which today is generally known as Chinese Export.  These brightly enamelled porcelains are full of colour and decorated with vigorous scenes of figures in tea houses, the Imperial court and domestic every day life.

 

Remember also, The Antique & Vintage Table Lamp Co is celebrated for its exquisite, handmade silk lampshades in all styles, knife or box pleated, gathered, ruffled or plain.  Sconce shades can also be ordered.
