Item Description

Offered is a pair of lovely living room porcelain lamps each signed by Elisa Kovacs. Clearly of the highest quality, the lamps are unique in that the base part of the lamp graduates in color starting at the base which is octagonal in shape and measures 23” around. On this level there is one ceramic rose with one ceramic green leaf then the base starts up with a pretty green color which contains one gold ring – the next part has a black shelf with 14 gold pointed triangles continuing up there is about a 2” layer of dark green, then a small ring of bright green which then goes to a pretty pink. Above that in the larger part of the base of the lamp there is a crème background with a hand painted stem with leaves attached to that are ceramic pink roses (one ceramic rose has a small chip out of one of its petals, otherwise the lamps appear to be in perfect condition) with ceramic green leaves. The colors are then pink, light green then dark green to the next black shelf with gold triangles. On the side of each base is a brown with gold trim handle. From the very top of the lamp to the very bottom of the base it measures 37 ½”. Please note that the lampshades will need to be replaced professionally. They are in very poor condition.
