Victorian Ceramic Table Lamp - Hand-Painted Vase with Ornate Brass Base & Glass Chimney

Design & Inspiration

Inspired by the grandeur of 19th-century Victorian and French Empire interiors, this exquisite handcrafted table lamp is a tribute to classical European artistry. The deep cobalt ceramic vase body features a central hand-painted medallion — in one variant depicting a serene pastoral landscape, and in another a bouquet of blooming flowers — framed by intricate golden arabesques and lattice motifs. The lamp's silhouette draws from the timeless oil lamp form, evoking the elegance of candlelit salons and aristocratic drawing rooms.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Every element of this luxury table lamp is crafted with exceptional attention to detail. The vase body is made from high-fired ceramic finished in rich cobalt blue, hand-painted by skilled Egyptian artisans with 24K gold-accented ornamentation. The base and collar fittings are cast in solid brass, finished in your chosen color, with deeply sculpted scrollwork and foliate motifs typical of the Empire style. The shade is a hand-blown glass chimney with a gracefully fluted and ruffled top opening, adding a delicate translucence that beautifully diffuses light. At Brass & Wood, every lamp is individually handcrafted and inspected to meet the highest standards of luxury furniture craftsmanship.

This table lamp weighs approximately 4 kg, reflecting the quality and solidity of its materials. The glass chimney shade measures approximately 14 cm in diameter at its widest point. Designed for use with an E14 candle bulb up to 40W on a 220V circuit, it is suitable for standard Egyptian and European electrical systems. The ornate four-footed brass base provides stable support while adding a sculptural presence to any surface.
