C1910-40 a Pullman Lamp

1900 - 1920
Description

Circa 1910-1940 a fine quality original brass Pullman lamp, in very good condition.

This is slightly shorter than some Pullman lamps, it measures 24.5cm in height to the top of the lightbulb holder, and the feet are approximately 14cm apart.

The old lightbulb holder and switch suggest it was last wired in the 1920-1930's and the fitting has GEC Made In England at the top, with a registration number just under the On/Off switches. It needs to be rewired, and the price reflects this.

We have some other -original - Pullman lamps in stock. Please ask if you’d like us to send some photos.

Postage and packing for the UK mainland is included in the price and for outside areas or delivery abroad please contact us for a quote.

This 1920 Art Deco table lamp is fashioned from solid brass with a warm gold finish. The antique Pullman piece takes the form of a miniature candlestick base, complete with an integral push-button switch featuring a red button, a turned central stem with crisp mouldings, and ornate tripod feet terminating in pad-like terminals. An old lightbulb fitting sits atop the column, stamped with maker marks reading GEC Made In England alongside a registration number just beneath the switch. Standing 25 cm high by 14 cm wide and 14 cm deep, the base requires rewiring before use. Suitable for an office desk, study, or traditional gentleman's library, this compact lighting fixture brings period character to a domestic workspace. Placed upon a writing desk or a side table, the polished brass reflects ambient light while offering a distinct historical accent to interior schemes.

FAQs

Originating in the early 20th century, Pullman lamps were specifically designed to illuminate luxury railway carriages operated by the Pullman Car Company. They typically featured stable, weighted, or screw-down bases to remain upright during transit.

These lamps were almost exclusively manufactured from heavy cast brass or copper, providing durability and visual warmth within train interiors alongside turned stems and brass bulb holders.

Authentic examples often display heavy tripod or flange bases intended for fixing to surfaces, original push-bar light switches, and occasional maker marks or patent numbers stamped on the socket casing.

Place the lamp base on a timber writing desk, side table, or shelving unit to introduce a metallic accent that enhances traditional, industrial, or library-style room decor.

Dust the brass surface with a soft, dry cloth and use a non-abrasive metal polish periodically if a shiny mirror finish is desired, or leave unpolished to allow a natural aged patina to form over time.
