Pair of Antique Victorian Floor Lamps

19th century
Description

A fantastic pair of antique Victorian floor lamps. They were made in England, they date from around the 1880-1900 period.

They were probably originally large candle sticks that have been converted to electrical lamps. One is solid elm, the other is solid satin wood, one may be have been made to match at a slightly later stage. They are identical in size and design, both have a lovely colour tone and patina.

We have had them stripped and re-polished to a very high standard, they have been re-wired and are in good working order. We have also paired them with a lovely pair of modern cream shades.

Width base – 11 inches , 27 cm

Width shades – 14 inches , 36 cm

This pair of Victorian floor lamps dates from around 1880 in England, designed in an English Country House style. Each lamp stands on a circular stepped base supporting a turned timber column with decorative mouldings and a brass bulb holder, paired with a white drum shade. The solid wood construction displays warm brown tones and a polished finish. One lamp is made from solid elm and the other from solid satin wood. Visible details include concentric turned rings along the shaft and rounded collars beneath the sockets. Measuring 117 cm high, 36 cm wide, and 36 cm deep, these lamps suit placement in an empty corner of a living room, hallway, or study to provide ambient freestanding illumination. The wired electrical setup accommodates modern use while maintaining the traditional aesthetic of the converted candlestick design.

FAQs

Victorian floor lamps, historically known as standard lamps, typically feature turned wooden or cast metal central columns anchored by weighted circular or tripod bases. Designed during the nineteenth century, these fixtures provided elevated ambient lighting using oil, gas, or early electricity.

These lamps were primarily crafted from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, oak, and pine, often shaped on a lathe to create intricate turned mouldings. Mounting components and electrical or gas fittings were typically manufactured from solid brass.

Authentic period pieces display distinct lathe marks, natural variations in hand-turned timber, and aged patina around the base and joinery. Additionally, older examples may show signs of historical conversion from oil or gas to modern electrical wiring.

Positioning a pair of standard lamps symmetrically on either side of a sofa, fireplace, or sideboard creates balance and warm accent lighting. Pairing traditional turned timber stems with clean neutral fabric shades allows them to blend into modern scheme settings.

Dust the timber stems regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish periodically to nourish the wood finish. Ensure all electrical wiring is tested by a qualified electrician to maintain modern safety standards.
