Description

Giulia Mangani porcelain lamp in the chinoiserie style, hand-painted & gilt with lychee and original lamp shade, 1950`s ca, Italian.

This lamp has been gently cleaned while respecting the vintage patina. It is newly rewired, earthed, PAT tested by an electrician and ready to use. It has the following new components: brass lamp holders, golden silk cable, white cord switch and white plug. This lamp could be used with a dimmer. It is possible to use this lamp in other countries with light bulbs suitable to local electricity.

This large sculptural lamp by Mangani Porcelain is a playful Mid-Century take on oriental vases. The bulbous shape has hand painted gilt lychee rising from the base; it is stylised yet composed with realism. Lychee are an auspicious fruit according to Feng Shui principles. The red symbolises happiness and the fruit is a mythological symbol of romance, beauty & good luck.

The unique combination of Modernism & Naturalism hand-painted with gilt on porcelain make this lamp elegant & decorative. It would suit a range of interiors such as Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency, 70`s Glamour, Traditional or Contemporary.

The main attraction here is the huge Mangani Porcelain base; matched to 1950`s back catalogues by the company as in the last photograph. In this lamp the vase sits on a gilt circular stepped plate. This is on an octagonal plinth base composed of high polished black acrylic on wood. Underneath there is new felt padding for protection.

Rising from the vase is a gold-tone central column. This column is telescopic with a decorative bolt allowing the shade to be lifted up & down. The height of the lamp as measured to the top finial is 65 cm at its lowest and 80 cm at its maximum. The lamp is photographed here at a height of 70 cm. Looking at the column in detail it has a golden disc with two new brass lamp holders inside the original brass covers facing upwards. At the top the column is finished with a sphere finial.

This lamp has the original vintage lamp shade. It is an octagonal pagoda form with ivory fabric, white lining and top brass ring. The shade is fitted to the main column by the finial and therefore is removeable.

This lamp takes 2 standard large screw light bulbs E27 up to 40 Watts each. Presently fitted and photographed with clear Candle bulbs of 28 Watts. These are included in this price.

This lamp is all in very good condition. The porcelain is in very good condition with no cracks or chips. The gilt surfaces are in good condition with minor rubbing & minor marks in line with age. The black acrylic base is in very good condition. The lampshade is in very good vintage condition with no cuts or stains.

Additional dimensions:

The total Height (from top finial) of the lamp as photographed is: 70 cm.

The porcelain base alone has a Height that can be adjusted from 65 cm to 80 cm. The diameter of the base is 25 cm.

The lampshade alone is: Height: 30 cm, top diameter: 22 cm, bottom diameter: 42 cm.

Packing is offered free of charge. We take special professional care while packing. For safe transport the base & lampshade would be wrapped separately in bubble wrap, foam and an outer layer of card. Together these parts would easily fit into a box with loose fill packing nuts, safe for posting with a courier. We ship with reliable couriers (signed for, tracked & insured).

GIULIA MANGANI PORCELLANE D`ARTE HISTORY: The Mangani family have been sculptors in Florence Italy since the 19th Century. The first atelier, while famous internationally, closed following the financial crisis of 1929. After WWII the next generation appeared to have a renaissance. Promoted by famous buyer Italian Giovanni Battista Giorgini, Mangani creations reached America, most notably Tiffany’s. The Company expanded its production with the creation of large collections, from accessories to lighting, and innovative processing techniques.

Condition report:

The porcelain is in very good condition with no cracks or chips. The gilt surfaces are in good condition with minor rubbing & minor marks in line with age. The black acrylic base is in very good condition. The lampshade is in very good vintage condition with no cuts or stains.

Cancellations and Returns

Last updated: 17th October 2024

Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.

If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.

Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.

Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Can I cancel an order?

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.

To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.

Can I return an item?

At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.

In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Please note that certain items are non-refundable, including those that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to your specific requirements.

Types of returns and responsibilities

Change of mind return

Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.

Item not fit for purpose

Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.

Damage in transit

Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

How to request a return

To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.

How you will be refunded?

Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.

If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.

What can't be returned?

As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.

Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.

Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.

Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
