{1950s Camille Tharaud Limoges Lampe Berger with Violets}

From France I like to show you these two vintage 1950s Camille Tharaud Limoges Lampe Berger with Violets. They both are in perfect condition, complete with brass crown, snuff cap and wick. One of them even has the older ajoured brass crown. Very rare and sought after collectors items. French Monsieur Gérald Vilcocq, did write the hardcover book: >Lampes Berger A Century of History. You don't need to go all the way to France but just shop on line at my Zen Cart on line Boutique Mariette's Back to Basics  for these unique pieces. World-Wide Shipping!
Both are sold out...
Those brass ajoured crowns have their vintage patina.
In the center I placed a Baccarat vase with ribbon violets, made by Dana from Lambs and Ivy Designs. You ought to see her work as it is incredible. Look on Pinterest: Lambs and Ivy Designs Ribbonwork
The heart that loves is always young...
Look at the hand painting on those beautiful Limoges porcelain Lampe Berger.
They are slightly different, indicating their hand work. The ajoured crown lampe, to the right, is slightly taller and also the porcelain lampe base has a nice gilded edge around its neck. 
Their shape is also slightly different. But they are without any scratch or whatsoever; perfect pieces for their age.

Tell me, do you own any vintage Lampe Berger?
And if you are not familiar with the Lampe Berger usage, watch this educational video from Lampe Berger, called >LIVE IN AIR YOU LOVE.
Sorry Sold out...
 Sorry Sold out...
This is the underside with its Camille Tharaud Limoges France markings from the least ajoured brass crown to the left.
This underside with markings belongs to the most ajoured brass crown, it has the initials TP.
On page 210 of Monsieur Gerald Vilcocq's book you can find several markings, also from Camille Tharaud, at the bottom.

That was it for todays boutique items.
Hope you liked the violets!

    Liebe Mariette,
    allein diese Lampen wären schon das Sammeln wert. Diese Veilchen sind wunderschön, sowohl auf der Lampe Berger als auch die Seidenveilchen von Dana.
    Liebe Grüße, Johanna

    Buenos días Mariette. Preciosas porcelanas y preciosas fotos. Son piezas muy delicadas y bonitas. Pasé por el blog de Dana y, al igual que me pasa con el tuyo, me quedaría todo el día mirando las fotos. Besos y que tengas un hermoso día.

    Dearest Mariette these are simply darling! and certainly a much nicer way to sanitize the air , than with all the messy and unattractive room deodorizers on the market today. Hugs, xo C. (HHL)

    Mariette,

    I love these! I'm looking for a small set of dinner plates without pink flowers. Not easy to find!
