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

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

We take shipping very seriously and maintain a fully equipped in-house packing facility to professionally package these important and delicate pieces. All packaging is handled by our staff and will generally consist of:

• Wrapping the item in several inches of heavy-duty bubble wrap with careful attention shown to pressure points, crafting the placement of the bubble wrap in a manner that allows delicate parts of the item to remain out of harm's way.
• The item is then placed into a tight-fitting carton with a void fill of either peanuts, Styrofoam, bubble wrap or a combination of the three to ensure it cannot move within the carton
• That carton is then double-boxed by placing it into an outer carton 2-3" larger on all sides with a dense void fill in the gap [note, paintings are generally not double-boxed but instead have a different packing methodology to properly protect the frame from pressure]

All shipments are guaranteed to arrive safely. We fully insure all shipments and in the event of damage we will handle all of the details around the claims process. You are only required to send along photos, to hold onto the damaged item and all packing materials until the claims process is resolved and we also reserve the right to require the damaged item to be shipped back to us at our expense (a prepaid label will be issued) to qualify for a refund.
