Antique Chinese Lamps - Bamboo and Bats

In traditional Chinese art, symbolism has always played a significant part, with highly regarded, auspicious symbols for births, weddings, wishes for long life and congratulations for birthdays.

Some of the more popular symbols are: Bats - the homonym "fu" stands for both "bat" and "happiness", hence the bat is a popular symbol. Crane -the crane is another longevity symbol as the bird was thought to live for two thousand years. Dragons - a symbol derived from ancient traditions. This celebrated symbol ranks first among all. The four-clawed dragon associates with royalty and the three-clawed dragon with the Chinese people.

The Antique and Vintage Table Lamp Co always has a fine selection of Chinese lamps, many with the "hidden meanings "of symbolism. The rules of thumb when buying antiques are - don't buy for investment, buy for love.
