Mid Century Marbro Lamp Co Japanese Imari Porcelain Table Lamp Chinoiserie Urn

Description

Mid-century Marbro Lamp Co. porcelain table lamp. An exceptional example of high-end Chinoiserie lighting, beautifully utilizing a traditional Japanese Imari style aesthetic. Authenticated by an original "Marbro Lamp Co. Los Angeles, CAL." Underwriters Laboratories foil label on the brass socket, the lamp base is formed from a heavy, square-sided porcelain vase. The porcelain body is richly hand-painted with a classic Imari palette of deep cobalt blue, rusty iron-red, and vibrant green, all highlighted by meticulous gilded gold scrollwork and accents. Each side displays a distinct narrative panel: the front showcases a formal floral bouquet radiating from a patterned ceremonial urn, while the alternate faces depict scenic garden weeping willows, traditional fences, and blooming chrysanthemums. The porcelain vase rests on a custom sculpted four-legged wooden display base with carved corner finials. It is topped by a square fabric bell shade trimmed with a matching orange-red velvet border and anchored by a polished brass cone finial, making it a highly collectible statement piece.
