Royal Delft Delvert Vintage Table Lamp, Liberty London Lampshade – Athena
Introducing Athena, an exclusive one-of-a-kind lamp meticulously crafted from a vintage Royal Delft (De Porceleyne Fles) Delvert vase. The Delvert series, a fusion of the French term for green (vert) and the historic city of Delft, stands as a testament to the inventive spirit of Dutch painter Herman Sanders. With its distinctive blue-green tint and intricately hand-painted motifs encased by a milky glaze, Delvert's charm is unmistakable. However, its production spanned a mere eight years from 1968 to 1976, cut short by the technical challenges of preserving its signature hue during firing.
Named in homage to Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, the lamp exudes an elegance and rarity that reflects the essence of Athena's wisdom and grace. This exquisite piece is complemented by a contemporary lampshade adorned in the illustrious Liberty of London’s Hera Plume in Slipper Pink. The Italian-woven jacquard fabric, with its piece-dyed weave, captures intricate details and lush colorations, harmoniously juxtaposing the Delvert vase's unique artistry.

The Delvert line of vases—the word being a contraction of the French word for green (vert) and the city of Delft—was designed by Herman Sanders, a well-known Dutch painter, and is characterized by its distinctive inimitable soft blue-green color and hand-painted floral and geometric motifs, finished with a milky glaze. The series was only produced from 1968-1976 when it was discontinued because of technical problems with the unique colour. So much was lost in the firing process, that it became too expensive to continue with production. While they are from a relatively recent era, they are exceedingly rare.
