{"product_id":"antique-french-empire-style-gilt-metal-89138","title":"Antique French Empire Style Gilt Metal Urn Lamp — Green-Painted Body with Pleated Shade","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe urn was one of the great borrowed forms of the neoclassical revival — lifted from ancient funerary and garden vessels and pressed into service as everything from mantel ornament to lamp base, its swelling profile and stepped foot instantly recognisable across a century of French decorative taste. This lamp keeps that lineage intact, the urn shape doing the same job it always did: holding the eye at the centre of a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a table lamp in gilt metal with an urn-form body finished in a deep green painted ground, banded above by a guilloché-cast gilt collar — guilloché being the engine-turned, interlocking wave pattern common to Empire and Restauration metalwork — and below by a ring of stiff acanthus leaves at the socket of a turned, beaded column base. The green ground against gilt metal is a pairing seen often on French urn lamps of this general type, imitating the look of patinated bronze against ormolu mounts without our making either metal claim as fact. No maker's mark is visible in the photograph supplied. A pleated fabric shade in ivory-white completes the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt reaches us with a sound, stable body, the green painted ground even and undisturbed, and the gilt metal fittings showing only light wear consistent with age. We pass it on as received, its finish left to speak for itself rather than refreshed. On a desk, sideboard, or bedside table, its solid, columnar presence anchors the surface around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn plain terms: a French Empire-style gilt metal urn lamp with a green painted body, no date claimed beyond the seller's 1950s attribution, standing about as tall as a car's steering wheel is wide, fitted with a B22 socket and rewired for safe, ready-to-use lighting, with a pleated shade included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS:\u003cbr\u003e\nSize: approx. 46 cm high with shade (18 inches); 25 cm wide with shade (10 inches); base approx. 13.5 cm wide (5.25 inches)\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: gilt metal with painted (green) ground\u003cbr\u003e\nStyle-Period: Empire style, 1950s per seller, no date confirmed\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping: professionally packed, fully insured, worldwide — we handle the paperwork, with all import duties paid by us; nothing to settle on delivery.\u003cbr\u003e\nElectrical: fully rewired through our workshop before dispatch, B22 fitting, plug or adapter fitted for the buyer's country, delivered working and ready to use.\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: good vintage condition; painted ground even and undisturbed, gilt metal fittings with light age wear, base stable\u003cbr\u003e\nLampshade: pleated fabric shade included as shown\u003cbr\u003e\nReturns: accepted within 30 days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Jaspers","offers":[{"title":"US","offer_id":59482061373785,"sku":"LGT-TBL-150","price":744.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"UK","offer_id":59482061406553,"sku":"LGT-TBL-150","price":744.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"EU","offer_id":59482061439321,"sku":"LGT-TBL-150","price":744.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/5388\/5529\/files\/il_fullxfull.8542840520_l8gu.jpg?v=1789757955","url":"https:\/\/maisonjaspers.com\/products\/antique-french-empire-style-gilt-metal-89138","provider":"Maison Jaspers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
