SCULPTURAL BRONZE LAMP
SHANG RITUAL WINE VESSEL!

Illumination is one of the most important elements of any interior. Electric light permits usage of an interior during half the day.
In the mid century lamps broke out of the ordinary and became highly specialized to complement all sorts of interiors and design themes.
A romance with ancient China existed and really took on a life of its own in the furnishings market after China became communist and many old books, antiques and furnishings were destroyed in Mao's purging.
Hong Kong and other nations quickly acted to protect the treasures of Chinese history. One of the ways they did this was to manufacturer authentic reproductions of ancient Chinese pieces - such as this lamp with an authentic Shang Dynasty ritual wine vessel base!
This lamp is extremely rare. It is made of enameled metal and wood.
Today, lamps like this are almost non-existent. A remnant of another era of high quality workmanship that paid homage to historic cultures and styles. This particular one is not only very rare, but in great condition for its age and composition!
Lamp has a single 3-way socket. Textured, white, rice paper shade. Works perfectly and is a very rare lamp indeed! Very minor age wear.
This lamp would make a STUNNING addition to your NY penthouse, CA atomic ranch or Hong Kong highrise!
HISTORIC ILLUMINATION FOR YOUR ILLUSTRIOUS INTERIORS!
