Each side presents a different Chinoiserie scene populated with figures, pagodas, architectural follies, foliage, tassels, and scrolling ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe monochromatic glaze allows the remarkable relief work to provide all the pattern and movement. Depending on the light, the lamps shift from quiet cream silhouettes to richly dimensional decorative objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir sculptural, footed forms are complemented by coordinating shades that appear to be silk and are finished with plush velvet trim. The shades, harps, and finials are all included, creating a complete and beautifully tailored pair that would be difficult—and expensive—to replicate today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 35.5 inches tall, they are appropriately scaled for substantial bedside chests, a living-room console, buffet, or matching side tables. Their quiet color makes them exceptionally versatile: just as comfortable against exuberant wallpaper and saturated Palm Beach color as they are in a serene neutral room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElegant enough to behave.
