This Victorian standard lamp dates from circa 1880 and has a telescopic brass mechanism that converts the former oil lamp to electricity. The warm gold metalwork includes a reeded column, a gadrooned base supported by paw feet, and an original oil well beneath a pleated cream fabric lampshade. The piece measures 203 cm high, 36 cm wide, and 36 cm deep, with the height adjustable down to 158 cm. Suitable for an empty corner in an English country house interior, the lamp provides directional lighting beside a reading chair or sofa. The traditional design suits period reception rooms, studies, or libraries where adjustable height and classic metal finishes complement existing antique furniture.

FAQs

Originating in the late 19th century, a Victorian telescopic standard lamp is a tall standing light fixture featuring an adjustable brass column that can be raised or lowered to direct illumination.

These lamps were predominantly constructed from solid brass or cast metal, often featuring heavy weighted bases, reeded or turned central columns, and intricate gadrooned or paw-foot details.

Authentic pieces typically display heavy cast-metal weighted bases for stability, original telescopic locking collars or thumbscrews, and hand-finished decorative moulding along the stem.

Position the lamp beside an armchair or in a reading corner to provide warm directional light while introducing architectural height and metallic tones to the room layout.

Wipe the brass column regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, avoiding abrasive chemical polishes that can strip original lacquer or patina, and ensure modern electrical wiring is safely fitted.
