About Lamps

Jacques Habra asked:


 

When choosing a billiards lamp you have to consider several factors, including:

 

1. What is the type of look and/or feel you are trying to convey in the room?

2. What area of the room do you plan to light?

3. How many lamps do you have and where will they be place?

4. What is the limit on your budget?

 

It is important to determine whether the room is going be elegant and classy or fun and exciting! You do not want to end up with a fun game room with an elegant-style billiard’s lamp. With modern day designers, there is enough variety to suit just about style of décor you choose.

 

It is very important to remember the color scheme throughout the process of choosing a billiard’s lamp. You could mix and match the shades to give color uniformity to the room or just go with one color. You could try looking for a brand new style or something that looks a little more retro, such as a wrought iron billiard’s lamp. This is a great way to add sophistication to a game or recreation room area, which in most homes, it not the epitome of style and class. A wrought iron billiard’s lamp can give that aura without taking away from the overall fun vibe of the room.

 

You should also take the time to look around the room to determine where you are going to place the lamp as well as the billiard’s table it will be hanging over. You also have to decide whether there will be one large lamp or several smaller billiards lamps. If using more than one lamp, try to coordinate lamps so that although they are different, they have a cohesiveness that makes them appear to be the same style. You might also try to find a large lamp that has a complimentary smaller lamp available.

 

Now that you have chosen the lamp you want, it is VERY important that you measure out the size of the lamp in conjunction with the space it will be hung in, to ensure that it will fit where you have envisioned it. Check the specifications carefully, make sure that you have measured everything correctly before you try to hang your lamp! You also have to be realistic about where you place your lamp to ensure that it is not in the way or obscuring an entrance, aisle or any other commonly used areas in the room. Moreover, when you are in the process of hanging, be sure that the lamp is not too close or too far from the table.

 

If you have a budget, keep in mind these lamps can be quite expensive. However, you pay for quality, so keep that in mind before you make the determination to bargain shop. If you do not plan to do it yourself, you should also plan for the expense of having a professional install the lamp.

Maurice Robertson asked:


When it comes to good design, no matter if a chair, a building or table lamp, without the design eye that sees balanced proportion, the design will fail.  The key to good design is always a harmonious balance between the elements used. 

Italy has a long respected reputation for excellence in design with contemporary names like Armani, Gucci & Versace.  The house of Ginori was established in 1735 by the Marchese Carlo Ginori, (1702-1757), with Ginori’s first porcelain manufactory at Doccia near Florence.

 

Ginori’s porcelain manufacture was continued without a break by his three sons, noted particularly for the introduction of a new white porcelain.  (The Doccia porcelain of the 18th century had always had a rather greyish look to it).  The company has always referred to its 18th century origins and with the revival of Rococo styles in the 19th century, the Doccia manufactory almost totally reverted to its 18th century models.  (See illustrated:- A Doccia plate from the 18th century factory).

 



The company remained in the hands of the Ginori heirs until 1896 when it was incorporated into the Richard of Milan company, as Richard-Ginori.

Gio Ponti served as artistic director of the company from 1923 into the1930’s, the period in which this lamp was produced.  The Richard-Ginori company which produces most of the high quality Italian porcelain today has its own purpose built museum to display its beautiful collection of Doccia/Richard-Ginori porcelain, right up to today.  This lamp is also included in its display collection.



“An Italian porcelain table lamp from the design house of Richard-Ginori.  The elegant lamp of well balanced proportion.   The design drawn from classical antiquity.  The lamp standing on a square based plinth with a matt gilded wide rim.  The lamp base with gilded “bound reed” moulding.  The eliptical vase shape enamelled in a deep royal blue and decorated with a circular gold rimmed white reserve.  The reserve with a puce, well drawn classical figure of a Roman muse.

The lamp terminating in a swag moulded and gilded neck and surmounted by a domed cover/lamp holder”.
