Many George and Martha Washington lights were made of porcelain circa 1940. They were typically made with genuine 22 K gold trim. Try as much as you like but you can never ever replicate the gold color trim utilized in these gorgeous porcelain lamps unless you make use of real gold.

　　Commonly called George and Martha Washington lights, the ornamental figures adorning these porcelain lights really stand for rich members of the court of French King Louis XV around 1765.

　　The ornamental figures are normally in different states of love, picnics, dancing, poetry, singing, etc. The original paintings on numerous of these lamps were originally from the French artist Jean- Honor Fragonard (1). Fragonard was well known for his very lewd and hedonistic art that was highly looked for after by rich art patrons of Louis XV's morally loose and fun loving court. George and Martha light decorations represent Fragonard's far more reserved paintings.

　　George and Martha Washington lights are no more being produced and the value of these classic lamps continue to rise.

　　George Washington lived from 1732- 1799 so he was alive when the original designs were produced for these beautiful lights in France.

　　In 1775, the Continental Congress designated Washington commander-in-chief of the American advanced forces. He was later on chosen president in 1789 but George and Martha Washington had nothing to do with these lights except they both had a comparable fashion of dressing which was likewise usual in France during that period.
