Question about this piece
A Marvelous Pair of 19th Century Antique French Chinoiserie Silvered and Dore Bronze Mounted Honey Alabaster Vases Turned to Lamps, in the style of Edouard Lievre. Each is beautifully hand-carved from natural honey alabaster stone. The top mounts are made of cast bronze which has been silvered and gilt beautifully with open-work Islamic and chinoiserie motifs. The handles are also gilt and silvered bronze with an Alhambra/Chinoiserie design. The bases are cast hand-chased and hand-chiseled dore and silvered bronze in the form of majestic foo dogs; they are seen holding up a flower and vine round base. The vases were later turned to lamps as honey alabaster is a perfect material to shine light through and create a warm-glow in any room. France, Circa: 19th Century.
