Neoclassical Style Hand-Painted Porcelain Table Lamp with Fringe Shade

This is a decorative table lamp featuring a robust, urn-shaped porcelain or ceramic body finished in a sage green glaze. The body is highly ornamented with hand-painted Neoclassical motifs including white acanthus leaves, creamy gold architectural scrolls, and tassels. The lamp features a stepped, rectangular pedestal base and a sloped 'roof' cap, both finished in a distressed gold-leaf or gilt paint. Metal lion-head ring pulls are mounted to the shoulders, suggesting a regency or empire influence. The lamp is topped with a bell-shaped fabric shade featuring damask patterns, elaborate braided trim, and long beaded fringe. The electrical cord is a modern plastic-coated yellow-gold cable, suggesting the lamp's internal wiring dates to the mid-to-late 20th century. Condition-wise, the piece shows some rubbing on the gilt edges and light dust accumulation on the fringe. The overall construction displays quality craftsmanship intended for traditional interior decor, likely manufactured between 1960 and 1980 in the style of 18th-century European porcelain.
