LIGHTING - Raymond Horneman

Highly decorative, large pair of metal wall lanterns; a bold statement. The last two pictures show a very similar pair used by Hanna Cecil Gurney (daughter of De Gournay wallpaper company founder, Claude Gurney) in her stunning london home. We had them rewired in such a way that they can easily be used for candles or electricity: simply unscrew the lightbulb holder and replace it with the custom made candle holder (provided)

Striking Pair of Mid Century Gilt Metal Flower Shaped Lamps

£ 3,300.00 GBP

Rare pair of late 17th Century Japanese powder blue globular vases of small proportions.
This kind of decoration (solid blue background with overglaze gold decoration) is typical of Chinese porcelain.
Japanese potters attempted to replicate it but with less success hence the rarity of this colour scheme. We only had one vase such as these before.
An interesting fact: a leaf of one of the two vases has been painted in green enamel and it was most probably a mistake during the decorating process.

Delightful and rare set of two Italian gilded wrought iron (possibly piedmont) wall lights featuring the original gilding. They consist of four arms (17th century) which have been later (19th-20th century) mounted on a leaves shaped base for wall hanging .Originally they could have been part of a chandelier or been hanging singularly. The colour of the gold and the patina is very warm and mellow and really show the age.
