Authenticity Guarantee
Every piece is hand-selected, cleaned, and described using over 20 years of vintage experience. When a listing says a piece is vintage, it is vintage. If an item isn't as described, I'll refund you in full, including shipping.
Vintage Condition
Every piece here is pre-loved and often decades old, so expect gentle signs of age and use, like light scratches, softened plating or finish, small marks, or patina. That's part of each piece's history and charm, and nothing will look fresh off a showroom floor.
Anything beyond normal wear, such as chips, cracks, repairs or damage, is always pointed out in the description and shown in the photos. If an item arrives with a flaw I didn't mention, my return policy has you covered.

Vintage Hand Painted Ceramic Leopard Lamp Base or Candlestick | Jungle Leaves & Tree Stump | Palm Beach Regency Style | Orange, Green & Black | 11.5" | Unsigned
A leopard lounging in the jungle, waiting for the right room to show off in. Wouldn't he look fabulous on a bar cart?
This vintage ceramic lamp base is hand painted with a spotted orange leopard sitting up with his front paws on a tree stump, surrounded by glossy light and dark green leaves on a black ground. A crown of leaves holds the top cup, and the base is finished with a gold-painted band. The style is pure Palm Beach Regency, the bold, playful look that's so popular with maximalist and grandmillennial decorators right now.
It was made as a lamp: there's a cord hole near the bottom of the base and a hole running through the top cup. The lamp hardware and wiring are gone, so it can be rewired by a lamp shop with a simple lamp kit, or you can use it as a statement candlestick or a decorative figure just as it is.
- Material: Hand-painted glazed ceramic

- Era: Late 20th century
- Style: Palm Beach Regency, jungle and safari motif
