Table Lamps – Seeing Red!

It may have been the Chinese who invented porcelain over 1000 years ago, but it took those fashionable French to give us the names of the coloured glazes, still used as standards in the West today, to identify the major range of Chinese ceramic colours.

Some of these names will be familiar such as “Famille Jaune”, or, the yellow family of glazes in which yellow is the predominant colour, “Famille Noir”, or the black family of coloured glazes, “Famille Rose”, or the pink family of colours and “Famille Verte”, the green range of glazes.

One of the most popular of these monochromes, or, single coloured glazes is   Sang de Boeuf as named by the French, or, literally, ox – blood.  Most names for colours, as used in China, were derived from nature, in this case resembling the coagulation of ox–blood.

This colour range of red glazes was developed throughout long period of the Ch’ing dynasty (1644 – 1912), the basis of the colour derived from copper.

Sang de Boeuf is found in a broad range of reds, from pale, known as Peach Bloom and on to a palette of rich dark reds.

The Antique & Vintage Table Lamp Co currently has a collection of several large examples of Chinese Sang de Boeuf lamps ranging from the mid 19th to the mid 20th century.  

This strong dark red colour works beautifully with interiors across classic and modern classic to traditional and being a single colour, is at home in any colour scheme.

Some of these lamps are mounted on elegant, French ormolu, in 18th century style, some on gold plated bronze stands and on custom turned, water gilded, maple wood stands.

The Antique & Vintage Table Lamp Co specialise in antique table lamp lighting with an on-line range of over 100 unique, antique and vintage lamps on view.

Lamps are shipped ready wired for the U.S, the U.K and Australia.
