Decorative ceramic table lamp with pierced floral body and fabric shade
Estimated Value
$40-$150
A decorative table lamp featuring a highly ornate ceramic base with pastel floral hand-painted or transfer-decorated motifs and pierced openwork panels on the bulbous center section. The base has a curving, scroll-form handle-like support and sits on a dark metal footed platform. The lamp is topped with a large tapered fabric shade decorated with raised floral trim around the lower edge. The overall style is eclectic and decorative, resembling a cottage, Victorian revival, or shabby-chic aesthetic rather than a true period antique. No maker's mark is visible in the image.
