This small table lamp dates from 1880 in the Neoclassical Revival style. The piece combines a polished brass frame with a clear cut glass reservoir, sitting beneath a cream pleated fabric shade that diffuses the light softly. Detailed elements include a Corinthian capital atop a fluted column shaft, a stepped square base, and an exposed twisted cord wire running down the side. The lamp stands 33 cm high, 9.5 cm wide, and 9.5 cm deep. Position this elegant lighting fixture on a sideboard top, side table, or desk to add period charm and a warm glow to a living room, study, or hallway. Its compact footprint ensures it fits comfortably in smaller spaces while providing a distinct decorative accent.

FAQs

Corinthian column lamps feature architectural elements inspired by classical antiquity, characterized by fluted shafts and decorative capital motifs modelled on acanthus leaves. Popularised during the Victorian and Neoclassical Revival eras, these designs were frequently used for oil lighting before being adapted for electricity.

These fixtures typically feature solid cast brass or bronze components for the base, capital, and column, frequently paired with cut lead crystal or pressed glass reservoirs designed to hold lamp fuel.

Authentic conversions often retain historical characteristics such as a threaded collar where the original burner sat, internal surface patina, and non-factory drill holes or wiring access added during later electrical adaptation.

Position the lamp on a dark wood desk, console table, or sideboard to contrast against textured modern walls, balancing historic metalwork with modern silk or pleated lampshades.

Dust metal surfaces softly using a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals that strip surface oxidisation, while cleaning the cut glass section with a damp, lint-free cloth.
