As promised on August 30, that I would list the other two rose enameled Lampe Berger lamps in about two weeks, here is finally the second one. From France again, comes this beauty of a Lampe Berger with an artful Anémones bottle, this time done by Camille Tharaud 1963-1971. On page 134 of the book Lampes Berger: A Century of History by Gérald Vilcocq you can read more about the history of Charles Ahrenfeldt and Camille Tharaud; as both have made this lamp. It is a stunning bottle and in perfect condition as well; complete with ajoured brass crown, snuff cap and burner wick. That is remarkable for such a lamp, being half a century old! This Camille Tharaud Limoges lamp is slightly taller than those with the same roses from Charles Ahrenfeldt. This was available at my Zen Cart powered on line botuique: Mariette's Back to Basics.
Tomorrow's post, I will show you a video from Lampe Berger: LIVE IN AIR YOU LOVE.
Beautiful raised enamel work!
Anémones on page 134 of the book.
Anemone tomentosa Robustissima is the botanical name of these flowers.
Also called Japanese Anemone, Windflower.

Sorry Sold out...
On the side of the brass neck is engraved: Made in France. And on the opposite side: Lampe Berger.
This is the book I got from publisher NOÈME
I could not scan that part, as this hard cover is too large, but it is written under the Lampe Berger at the bottom.

Dear Mariette,

Oh, I just came back to tell you that Jess and Nel's dad is part German - not mine. My dad was part Greek. Sorry for the confusion. It is always fun to experience other traditions, and they had a fun in the little German village that day. Jess went to both Germany and Greece when she traveled through Europe. Have a lovely day tomorrow.
