Offered by: Solomon Treasure

Description
Exquisite Suite of Four Theodore Deck Ormolu-Mounted Celadon Green Porcelain Lamps – In the Chinese Taste

This rare suite of four Theodore Deck ormolu-mounted celadon green porcelain lamps is a masterful blend of European refinement and Chinese influence. The soft celadon glaze, a signature of Deck’s celebrated craftsmanship, pays homage to the revered porcelain traditions of China, where this tranquil green hue has been cherished for centuries. Enhanced by richly chased ormolu mounts, a hallmark of 19th-century French luxury, these lamps exude both elegance and grandeur.

A visionary ceramicist, Théodore Deck (1823–1891) was among the most influential French artisans of his time. Known for his pioneering glazing techniques and passion for Eastern aesthetics, Deck’s work was sought after by European nobility and tastemakers. His creations can be found in prestigious museum collections worldwide, including the Musée d’Orsay, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Petit Palais. His influence also extends into modern design, with his work admired by renowned architect and designer Peter Marino, who frequently incorporates Deck’s ceramics into his interiors.
