Art Deco Lamps Identification
« on: April 30, 2008, 02:19:36 AM »
I recently acquired some art deco boudoir lamps and was told that they were from the 1920's-1930's, most likely French or of other European make.  I was wondering if anyone could help me identify them (pics attached) or provide me with some information about them.  They are hand painted, glazed, and approximately 4 1/2" high by 5" wide.  They appear to be porcelain.  Any information would be appreciated. TIA.

Can we see the bases please. I might look at Japan. Those ladies look like an Asian interpretation of a European face

Here's a pic of the base. I was thinking the opposite--a European take on an Asian face, part of the Orientalism aspects of Art Deco.

Do they have any light fittings with them or not (I can't see any) as those might help as well. I think they are fabulous things.
Cheers!
