Dealer notes

Standing at a commanding 30 inches, this extraordinary lamp is a definitive expression of mid-century Chinoiserie, repurposed from an authentic, oversized antique tea tin merchant vessel. This is a piece of significant scale, offering a panoramic architectural canvas that captures a rare, hand-painted garden narrative. The lithographed artwork features two central figures in a traditional courtyard setting, framed by intricate gilded geometric borders and classical botanical cartouches that exemplify the high-end export aesthetics of the era. The deep obsidian and aged crimson palette is enriched by an authentic, time-honored patina—a genuine testament to its history as a functional artifact of the global tea trade. Unlike standard decorative lighting, this monumental vessel brings a sense of academic elegance to the interior. Set upon a custom-weighted foundation, it is the ideal anchor for high-ceilinged great rooms, grand entryway galleries, or a sophisticated Modern or Farmhouse suite. Note: Professional Hand-Tailored Shade is for reference only and is NOT included. *Era: Antique *Dimension: 10" Wide x 30" Total Height. *Material: Original Lithographed Metal on a Custom Structural Base. *Finish: Black, Gilded Gold, and Aged Crimson. *Technical Details: Professionally wired with modern high-end components. *Condition: Authentic antique character with original historical wear and a rich, developed patina. **Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio
