Another Fabulous Chinoiserie Chic Steal

Celerie Kemble Parasol Table Lamp - Society Social

This wonderful wicker parasol lamp is wildly popular with interior designers. Handwoven, rattan wicker is just as Caribbean in its style as it is sophisticated. The shade and base are both made of natural rattan; the shade features an exaggerated scallop edge while the base conceals a steel plate. The stem is crafted from stainless steel, finished in a warm antique brass that contrasts the whimsical silhouette. Two bulbs are set to a dimmer switch, so you can set the mood however you like.

This photo was on the cover of Architectural Digest in November/December 1975. Is it Tony Duquette? I love the parasols, the elephant, the Chinese garden stool, and the rattan chairs. It has quite a modern vibe.

The parasols bring to mind this Charlotte Moss Kips Bay 1995 room with its Chinoiserie parasol bed.

Chinoiserie Girl's Bedroom Update

Did you see this post of mine last week on hanging Chinese parasols from the ceiling? These fabulous parasol lampshades at Pearl River Mart have light bulb clips and can be used on lamps or ceiling fixtures. They would be a chic and budget friendly idea for an entry, powder room, girl's bedroom, or any bedroom.

Chinoiserie Girl's Bedroom

What a chic, fun, and budget friendly way to turn a girl's bedroom into a Chinoiserie inspired room, just by hanging a few Chinese paper parasols. This would be great in a nursery, a little girl's bedroom, even for a teenager. Parasols are easily found at places like Pearl River Mart. I apologize that the source was not identified.
