Meissen-Style Lamps
21 January 2021
Description

I have two lamps that look to be Meissen in style. I can't see any markings on the lamps because the bases are covered by the lamp base.

Provenance

These lamps came from my mother's home in Houston Texas. She was born in 1932 into a wealthy banking family. Her bedroom where these would have been used was decorated in a French antique style.

Hi Mary,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. So that I may best assist you, can you please confirm how tall these lamps are?

Many thanks in advance,
Delia

Yes, sorry I should have included that. The porcelain is 9.5" tall. The base adds 2.5" and then the top another 3". Thank you.
