{1960s Vintage French Lampe Berger RV Molded Glass}

Another French treasure for you; a perfect 1960s Vintage Lampe Berger RV Molded Glass. It is listed in the book by Gérald Vilcocq - Lampes Berger A Century of History on page 203. As usual, this treasure is available at my Zen Cart powered boutique on line: Mariette's Back to Basics, under: French Limoges Lampe Berger Lamps

Leaning onto the Fleur de Lys love seat...

On page 203 (at the top to the right) of Gérald Vilcocq's book you find it - RV Verre moulé (meaning Molded glass).

A view against a clear wall. Hard to capture this beautiful molded glass!

This one is with flash light, showing also the original stone  and wick.

You can see the marking: Made in France...

It has a brass snuffer cap.

The Lampe Berger marking...

On the other side it reads: MADE IN FRANCE.

Again, under the molded glass it reads: MADE IN FRANCE.

This is a very rare lamp and I only found one at 1stdibs

{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!

{LIVE IN AIR YOU LOVE}

The first Lampe Berger lamp was created in 1898 by Maurice Berger, a pharmacy dispenser, to purify the air in hospital wards. Lampe Berger, the leader in innovations for air care, cleans the room air by destroying unwanted odors and providing long-lasting fragrance, due to its exclusive diffusion system. By eliminating unpleasant smelling molecules (tobacco, cooking, etc.), Lampe Berger cleans the interior air of your home. This video will explain the use of Lampe Berger lamps which are available at my Zen Cart powered boutique on line: Spectrenoir. Look below for some samples of Antique and Vintage Lampe Berger and if you wish to have info on any one of them, let me know...

 Lampe Berger Cherub Cameo (Angelot) is one of my favorites! No longer available but I do have ONE in my boutique...  Mariette's Back to Basics. 

The opaque center is very hard to capture on camera but I tried my best. A golden circle makes the Cherub Cameo even stand out more.

This beauty comes with a very heavy golden cap.
