Silver Plated Lamp 29cm by Harrison Brothers & Howson C 1875

19th century
Description

Exceptional Victorian silver plated lamp by Harrison Brothers & Howson 29cm high and in excellent, original condition. From research I believe it dates from c 1875.

The base is 11cm square and the lamp is decorated with swags and ribbons around the plinth, all up the column and around the capital.

It is fitted with the original bayonet and we have removed the original wiring in accordance with the law. It will need to be rewired in order to function.

Superb, heavy quality and great looking lamp.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

FAQs

Victorian Neoclassical lighting draws design inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman architecture, heavily incorporating motifs such as urns, drapery swags, floral garlands, and beaded borders. Popularised during the late 19th-century Adam Revival, these pieces balanced symmetrical classical proportions with electroplated silver finishes.

These lighting bases were typically manufactured using electroplating techniques, where a thin layer of fine silver was chemically deposited onto a nickel alloy or copper base metal. Component parts were cast or machine-stamped, assembled with internal weighted rods, and finished with chased or engraved details.

Authentic period pieces usually feature makers marks, electroplate stamps (such as EPNS), or registration numbers near the base perimeter. Signs of genuine age include natural oxidisation in carved recesses, subtle wear to raised edges revealing base metals, and period-appropriate threaded fittings or historical lamp conversions.

Contrast the metallic finish of a silver lamp by pairing it with crisp linen or dark silk lampshades. Position the lamp atop timber sideboards, writing desks, or bedside cabinets to create an understated textural accent within both contemporary and traditional interior schemes.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to prevent tarnish build-up. Avoid aggressive abrasive cleaners that can strip thin electroplated silver layers, opting instead for specialised, gentle silver foam or polishes applied sparingly when necessary.
