The lights’ orientation, facing downwards, is a straight forward indication that the piece was made after electricity. The ornately cast arms are made of bronze, and attach to a beautiful dome. It also features a fine bronze finial indicative of the time period, surrounded by a circle of octagonal and teardrop crystal.

This gorgeous pair of antique lamps combine Chinese porcelain with beautiful French bronze mounts.

The piece has been converted to modern electricity.
