Monumental and Stunning Early 20th Century Archaic Patinated Bronze Chinese Vase with Extraordinary Dragon Motif. The storied W. & J. Sloane Co. "the taste-setter" for luxury homes with clients ranging from the Rockefellers, the Vanderbilts, the Whinteys and of course the White House spanned decades. Their flagship store on 19th and Broadway in NYC was second to none.
From the storied retailer, this magnificent patinated bronze Chinese vase was purchased in the 1950s. Vase stands 24" tall and conveys with a custom rosewood base that adds two inches. The patina is rich with browns greens and touches of red. But it is the stunning dragon in exceptionally high relief with extraordinary details in the head and body that wraps itself entirely around the urn.
Goldberg Auctions took receipt of this piece as a large lamp, with an 18 x 20 x 20" shade, three bulb sockets, and suitable for any large room. Easy to dismantle or reconfigure, we can send both the shade and light fixture hardware which are modern and in excellent condition. Because of the conversion, there is a professionally drilled centered hole at bottom that was necessary to convert to a lighting fixture. Lamp is just at 44" tall with base and shade.
