Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

These Edwardian lamp bases represent a French Rococo Revival table light pairing, constructed from gilt metal, enamel, and black veined marble. The gilt metal exhibits deep golden tones, while the marble plinths display pronounced grey veining and rest on four cast scrolled feet with looped knees. Additional ornamentation includes ceramic cameo inserts decorated with colourful foliate bouquets, alongside profuse lobes, foliate casting, and scroll motifs across the substantial mounts. Each lamp base measures 47 cm high, 25 cm wide, and 20.5 cm deep. Designed for domestic placement, the pair functions ideally upon a living room sideboard top or a grand hallway surface. The electrical setup comprises standard small bayonet bulb holders and British Standards compliant UK 3-pin plugs connected via quality lengths of cable. The surfaces show an aged patina with varied golden hues, complementing interiors styled with traditional decorative furnishings and antique lighting fixtures.

FAQs

French gilt metal table lamps from this period frequently feature Rococo and Neoclassical revival influences, including detailed foliate casting, baluster stems, scrollwork, and marble bases that add weight and structural stability.

These lighting bases were crafted by joining cast brass or bronze components over a central threaded iron rod, which anchors into a polished marble slab supported by cast ornamental feet.

Authentic pieces show natural oxidisation or gentle wear to the gilt finish, sharp casting details, crisp edge chiselling, and genuine veining or natural inclusions within the marble base.

A pair of gilt lamp bases works effectively on a sideboard, console table, or bedside cabinets, balanced by clean modern drum shades in silk or linen.

Dust surfaces regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, keeping harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive metal polishes away from the gilt surface and porous marble.
