This exquisite vintage 1930s table lamp showcases an antique Blanc de Chine porcelain Guanyin figurine, gracefully standing amidst swirling clouds, a motif symbolizing divine transcendence in Chinese art. The figurine, crafted in the traditional Dehua kiln style of Fujian Province, reflects the centuries-old mastery of Chinese porcelain artisans, renowned for their luminous, white-glazed ceramics dating back to the Ming dynasty (1368–1644).

The bronze base, with its intricate design, adds a sense of grandeur and stability, complementing the delicate porcelain. Topping the piece is a vintage black papier-mâché and gold oval-shaped lampshade, an elegant mid-century addition that enhances the lamp’s East-meets-West aesthetic.

A remarkable fusion of history and artistry, this lamp is a rare statement piece ideal for collectors and lovers of Chinoiserie, Hollywood Regency or eclectic interiors, bringing an air of refinement and cultural heritage to any space.
