Art Deco Porcelain Table Uplight with Greco Roman Figures by Nymphenburg

This refined Art Deco table lamp was realized from white porcelain in an urn form. It depicts two Greco Roman figures in etched glass, creating a rich dimensionality when the piece is illuminated. A female form holding a carafe offers a small plate to a kneeling man, who extends his hand to receive it. Both figures are cloaked in flowing togas that drape elegantly over their classically proportioned forms. From the centre of urn uplight a brass rod extends upwards, supporting two Edison based bulbs behind a custom linen shade in an ecru tone. The uplight rests on a black lacquered base that displays a wonderful, all-over craqueleur that testifies to its nearly antique age. It has been newly rewired to American standards. Excellent vintage condition. The piece is signed "Nymphenburg" on the base,
