About the Item

Éloise and Étienne are a stunning pair of antique table lamps, meticulously handcrafted by Amitābha Studio in Amsterdam from late 19th-century Samson vases. These vases were originally created as faithful reproductions of early 18th-century Delftware faience, showcasing vibrant Chinoiserie-inspired motifs rendered in the celebrated Cashmere palette. This striking combination of cobalt blue, iron-red, and verdant green is enriched with intricate floral medallions and scrolling patterns. Paired with bespoke dupion silk lampshades in a warm burnt sienna hue, these lamps beautifully merge historical artistry with contemporary elegance. Importantly, the vases were preserved in their entirety during the transformation, ensuring their authenticity and legacy remain intact. The Cashmere palette draws inspiration from the vibrant hues and intricate motifs of Indian textiles, particularly the fine cashmere wool scarves that were coveted luxury items in 18th-century Europe. These patterns, rich with exotic allure, captivated European designers during the Baroque period and were translated into ceramics like Delftware, reflecting the era’s fascination with Asian design and “exoticism.” Samson’s reproductions of Delft faience embraced this aesthetic, incorporating lush decorations and ribbed surfaces that further emphasized the connection to high-quality Delftware. On the base of each vase, you’ll find an apocryphal Delft mark—intended to emulate 18th-century Delftware markings—alongside the smaller hand-painted Samson x hallmark, a discreet yet integral marker of authenticity. These dual marks are a testament to the historical intrigue of Samson’s work, as his pieces expertly balanced homage to historical designs with their own artistic value. Perfect as statement pieces in a living room or bedroom, Éloise and Étienne are a harmonious blend of history, craftsmanship, and artistry. We also ensure compatibility for global use by offering a free plug customization service to match the electrical standards of your specific country. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. Please note, the lamp is fully wired for use in the U.S. Additionally, the listed height includes the lampshades.
