Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE EDWARDIAN ERA:
Mellow oxidisation settled into the petal mouldings: long-term natural age across the surface.
Turned brass collar joint at the neck: standard early twentieth-century workshop assembly.
Stepped weighted brass foot: keeps the overhanging gooseneck arm balanced safely.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

This Edwardian desk lamp is an antique brass student reading lamp dating from around 1900. Made from brass with a braided brown fabric flex cable, the piece exhibits a polished brass finish in warm golden tones. It incorporates a circular weighted lamp base decorated with petal shapes, a plain tall stem with a curved over swan-neck arm at the top, a mid-stem collar moulding, and a standard bayonet bulb holder. The object measures 56 cm high, 14 cm wide, and 14 cm deep. In a modern interior, this lamp provides focused illumination and traditional character placed upon an office desk in a gentleman's library or study. The traditional twisted fabric flex extends from the base across the wooden surface, operating as a functional lighting piece for workspace tasks.

Edwardian lighting from the early 20th century emphasised functionality paired with simple elegance, frequently featuring curved gooseneck stems, brass fittings, and adjustable arms intended for task reading.

These lamps were primarily crafted from solid spun or cast brass, featuring weighted bases with decorative fluting and flexible or curved armatures to direct light efficiently.

Authentic period pieces feature cast brass components with natural surface oxidation, period bayonet socket fittings, stamped maker details, and heavy cast bases rather than modern lightweight alloys.

Position the lamp on a dark wood bureau, modern executive desk, or bedside table to introduce warm metallic tones and direct task illumination into contemporary study spaces.

Clean the brass surface gently using a dry microfiber cloth to preserve the natural patina, avoiding harsh chemical polishes, and ensure electrical flex is tested by a qualified electrician.
