Fine Pair of French Antique Bronze and Red Marble Table Lamps, 19th Century

Description: FINE PAIR OF LOUIS XVI STYLE BRONZE AND RED MARBLE TABLE LAMPS Probably French, circa late 19th century Item # 404KXB11P A gorgeous pair of table lamps made in the taste of the Louis XVI era roughly a century later, probably circa 1880 and likely from Paris. They are perfectly matched and feature charming scenes in bas-relief of a trio of children on one side throwing apples at eachother while on the other side the children play Blind Man's Bluff where one of the trio is blindfolded and tries to find the others. Either side of the urn is flanked by ram's heads. The lamps are both examples of very fine bronze casting. They feature well-developed foliage and extensive cold-tooling work to bring out the details throughout: chiseling, engraving and hammering of texture to bring all of the elements to a sharpness. The lamps are raised on marble base with inverted corners over a conforming bright-cut engraved base with exotic swirls of flowers and foliage. A very fine and remarkably high-quality presentation for collectors and decorators alike. Measurements: 39 1/4" H x 7 1/4" W x 7 1/4" D Condition Report: Cord shown in the images has since been removed and replaced with a period correct braided cord and all wiring has been inspected - perfect working condition. Bronze with a natural patina and oxidization throughout, discoloration and tarnish - this has only been very lightly cleaned in-house and sealed in wax. Some trace verdigris. Marble in good condition with light chips. A fine presentation.
