An early 20th-century Kashmiri table lamp, decorated with hand-painted floral and bird motifs set against a warm gilt ground and presented with an Imogen Pope jacquard frill lampshade.
The rounded papier-mâché body is richly ornamented with an intricate all-over design, reflecting the decorative traditions for which Kashmir became renowned. Stylised birds and flowering foliage are rendered in shades of saffron, coral, blue and green, creating a lively and balanced composition. The softly aged gilded surface has developed a gentle patina, adding warmth and depth to the decoration.
Paired with an Imogen Pope jacquard frill lampshade, the lamp offers a decorative example of early 20th-century Kashmiri craftsmanship, combining traditional painted decoration with a contemporary textile shade.
