Victorian Silver Plated Corinthian Column Table Lamp with Lion’s Paw Feet C.1880

19th century
Description

A superb Victorian silver plated Corinthian column table lamp, dating to circa 1880, of elegant and classical design.

The fluted column is surmounted by a finely cast Corinthian capital, richly detailed with acanthus leaves, and raised on a stepped square base adorned with applied wreath motifs. The whole stands on distinctive lion’s paw feet, giving the piece both presence and a strong architectural character.

The silver plating has mellowed beautifully over time, developing a soft, aged patina that enhances the depth and detail of the casting. The proportions are particularly pleasing, making it an ideal statement piece for a side table, console, or desk.

This form takes inspiration from classical antiquity and was highly popular in the late 19th century, reflecting the Victorian taste for grand, neoclassical design.

FAQs

A Corinthian column table lamp is a Neoclassical lighting fixture designed to replicate classical architectural columns, featuring a fluted shaft and an ornate capital decorated with carved acanthus leaves.

Victorian examples were commonly manufactured from cast brass, bronze, or electroplated nickel silver (EPNS), often set upon weighted stepped bases made of metal or marble.

Authentic period pieces feature sharp casting detail on decorative elements like capitals and paw feet, hallmarks or electroplate stamps near the base, and evidence of historic conversion from oil or early electrical rewiring.

Pair the lamp base with a tailored pleated linen or silk drum shade to balance the architectural weight, positioning it on a dark wood sideboard, console table, or writing desk.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and polish sparingly using specialised non-abrasive silver cleaners to preserve thin electroplated surface layers and natural tarnish in recessed details.
