Each lamp features a beautifully hand-painted romantic scene on its porcelain exterior, framed by two intricately detailed gilt handles that add a touch of grandeur. The lamps are shaped in a classic urn style, resting on a round base adorned with hand-painted floral and foliate motifs, complemented by a striking gilt gold snake sculpture coiled around the lower base for an extra element of charm and sophistication.

Standing at approximately 31 inches tall with a width of 16 inches and depth of 13.5 inches, these lamps offer both visual impact and functional lighting.

Perfect for adding a touch of historical elegance to any room, these hand-gilt porcelain lamps embody the beauty and artistry of 19th-century European décor. less
