Pair of Italian Agateware Porcelain Lamps with Medusa Masks, Wreaths, & Handles

About the Item

A Magnificent Pair of Italian Agateware Porcelain Lamps with Medusa Masks, Wreaths, and Handles. The lamps are fashioned in the neoclassical style and feature a brightly-contrasted yellow and brown marbling. Atop the solid dark brown plinths stand urn-shaped vessels—a staple in French Empire lamp design. This curious urn shape was a staple in French empire homes—considered a stately addition to any interior design scheme. The swirling yellow and brown marble is complemented by the crisp white adornment, black wood plinths, and solid bronze stem. On either side of the urn is a woman’s head attaching the handle to the lamp. Her face is rendered in a style evocative of Greco-Roman sculptural practices. Beside her drapes two faux wreaths: another reference to neoclassical sensibility. Italy, Circa: 20th C. Height of lamp is adjustable. With electrical fitting: 36 in., Height of vases alone: 20 in.
