A sensational French 19th century Louis XVI st. Belle Époque period cobalt blue Sèvres porcelain and ormolu lamp, commissioned for the House of Bourbon. The lamp is raised by fine ormolu bun feet below the square cobalt blue porcelain base decorated with lovely gilt painted foliate designs set on an elegant recessed panel. The socle shaped pedestal is adorned with a striking foliate ormolu wrap around mount while the beautifully shaped body is encased with an additional richly chased pierced foliate mount. Above the fine twisted rope wrap around ormolu band is the impressive central coat of arms from the House of Bourbon with three fleur de lys, a medal and majestic crown. Beautiful scrolled acanthus leaf arms lead up each side in a rich satin and burnished finish with fine charming floral rosettes. At the top is a fine ormolu top cap with a wrap around Coeur-de-Rai design. All original gilt throughout.
Shown with our signature Cedric DuPont Antiques two tone pin tuck silk shade.
The House of Bourbon is a European royal house of French origin, a branch of the Capetian dynasty. Bourbon kings first ruled France and Navarre in the 16th century. By the 18th century, members of the Bourbon dynasty held thrones in Spain, Naples, Sicily, and Parma. Louis IX's grandson was the first duke of Bourbon, whose descendants would later become Kings of France. There were five Bourbon monarchs: Henry IV (ruled 1589–1610); Louis XIII (ruled 1610–1643); Louis XIV (ruled 1643–1715); Louis XV (ruled 1715–1774); and Louis XVI (ruled 1774–1792). — Read Less
