Description :

Unique vintage décor lot featuring four distinctive table lamps inspired by Hollywood Regency, Chinoiserie, and eclectic mid-century design. This collection includes a whimsical monkey figural lamp, a dramatic black and gold tole lamp, and two coordinating Asian-inspired decorative lamps, making it an exceptional grouping for collectors or interior designers.

Lot Includes:

• Figural Monkey Table Lamp featuring a hand-painted monkey wearing a green vest and red fez while supporting a classical brass-tone candle-style socket.
• Black & Gold Tole Table Lamp with lion head ring pulls, lion paw feet, pierced gallery top, and neoclassical styling.
• Black Cylindrical Chinoiserie Table Lamp decorated with colorful Oriental scenes and mounted on a carved wood base.
• Matching Chinoiserie Tea Canister Table Lamp featuring hand-painted Oriental scenes on a black lacquer-style finish and mounted on a carved wood base.

According to the previous owners, the two black Chinoiserie lamps were custom made for their home using decorative Oriental-style metal containers, making them a one-of-a-kind matching pair rather than commercially manufactured lamps. Together, these four lamps create a striking collection blending Hollywood Regency elegance with timeless Asian-inspired décor.

Historical Note

Hollywood Regency and Chinoiserie décor experienced widespread popularity during the mid-20th century, particularly from the 1960s through the 1980s. Decorative figural lamps, painted tole lighting, and Asian-inspired furnishings were frequently used to create richly layered interiors. Custom-made lamps fashioned from decorative tea tins and ornamental metal containers became especially desirable as one-of-a-kind statement pieces, reflecting the era's appreciation for personalized, designer-inspired home décor.
