Pair of Antique Table Lamps from Delft Boch Frères Keramis Vases, Chinoiserie – Meet Henri & François
Meet Henri & François! Named in homage to the elegant craftsmanship of Boch Frères, these one-of-a-kind lamps are lovingly handcrafted from vintage vases designed by Boch Frères Keramis in La Louvière, Belgium, for Royal Sphinx (formerly Petrus Regout) in Maastricht, the Netherlands. Each lamp is paired with a custom contemporary lampshade in luxurious scarlet red velvet, made in an atelier near Amsterdam, along with a matching red cord, adding a bold yet timeless sophistication to any space.
The vases that form the base of these lamps were crafted between 1969-1979, as indicated by the “Made for Royal Sphinx by Boch, Delfts” mark on the bottom. The intricate floral designs on the vases were achieved using the transfer-print technique—a method where a detailed monochrome print, initially engraved onto a copper or steel plate, was transferred onto the ceramic surface, preserving the fine details that hand-painting alone could not achieve.
These lamps are finished in a beautiful dark Delft blue, a hue distinctive to the ceramics produced by Petrus Regout & Co. and Royal Sphinx. Standing at an impressive height of 65 cm (25.6 inches), Henri & François are statement pieces that embody a blend of historical artistry and modern elegance, ideal for adding a striking touch to any interior.

About the Maker: Boch Frères Keramis and Royal Sphinx
Boch Frères Keramis, founded in 1841 by Eugène and Victor Boch in La Louvière, Belgium, became renowned for its high-quality faience and decorative ceramics. In the late 19th century, Victor Boch established “la Chambre des peintres hollandais,” inviting skilled Dutch painters from Maastricht to join the workshop, merging traditional Dutch faience techniques with innovative Belgian craftsmanship. This collaboration brought new styles and decorative details to the Boch Frères collection, setting their work apart.
In 1958, the Dutch ceramic company Petrus Regout & Co. merged with Société Céramique to form Royal Sphinx in Maastricht, Netherlands. When Royal Sphinx ceased its Delftware production in 1969, Boch Frères Keramis acquired their designs and continued to produce these Delft-inspired pieces under the mark “Made for Royal Sphinx by Boch” until 1979. The unique transfer print method used, along with additional hand-painted details, allowed for intricate designs, like the dark, vibrant Delft blue so distinct to Royal Sphinx pieces.
Royal Boch pieces from this era reflect a blend of Dutch and Belgian ceramic traditions and remain cherished for their historical significance and decorative appeal.
