This mid-19th century Victorian table lamp dates from around 1850. The piece combines a tapered cobalt blue cut glass stem with an ornate gilt brass Rococo base, featuring acanthus leaves and decorative scrollwork. The upper section is fitted with matching brass hardware and a standard brass bulb holder. The lamp stands 41 cm high, 18 cm wide, and 18 cm deep. Positioned on a sideboard top, this piece fits naturally within an English Country House interior. The deep blue glass reveals clear cut panels catching the light, complemented by the warm tone of the gilded metal base and the antique double twist flex wiring. It provides focused task or accent lighting in a living room, study, or hallway.

FAQs

Mid-19th century Victorian lighting often combined vibrant coloured glass stems, such as cobalt blue or ruby red, with cast gilt brass or bronze bases. These lamps frequently utilised cut glass or overlay techniques paired with rococo-inspired leaf scrollwork.

Lamps from this period were crafted using heavy cast brass or bronze for the ornate base, often gilded to prevent tarnishing. Stems were typically hand-blown, leaded cut glass or cased glass, engineered to support oil burners prior to conversion for electricity.

Authentic pieces display significant weight in the cast brass base, subtle unevenness in hand-cut glass facets, and natural oxidisation on untouched metal surfaces. Original components may show signs of conversion from fluid or oil operation to electrical fittings.

Position the lamp on a neutral sideboard, console table, or desk to allow the bold cobalt blue glass to serve as an accent colour. Pair it with a simple silk or pleated shade to bridge classical ornamentation with contemporary surroundings.

Dust the glass and brass regularly with a soft dry cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners or metal polishes that can wear away original gilding. Ensure all wiring is inspected and tested by a qualified electrician to meet current safety standards.
