Pair of 19thc French Louis Xvi Style Ormolu Mounted Marble Cassolette Lamps

19th century
Description

Pair of Louis XVI Style Marble & Ormolu Table Lamps (Former Cassolettes)

A striking pair of table lamps crafted from veined grey and white marble with finely cast gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts, designed in the Louis XVI revival style.

Originally produced as decorative cassolettes, these pieces have been professionally converted for electrical use, retaining their classical architectural form and symmetry.

Each lamp features an ovoid marble body raised on a fluted ormolu pedestal, set upon a square stepped gilt bronze base. The bodies are mounted with ornate scrolling handles, cast as flowing foliage and floral garlands, adding strong neoclassical character.

The upper sections are finished with pierced ormolu galleries and domed fluted covers, now supporting a three-arm brass light fitting, with sockets directed outward and upward for balanced illumination.

The marble is polished to a high finish, displaying natural veining throughout. The ormolu mounts show good casting and chased detail, with a consistent rich gold tone. Both lamps are fitted with gold braided electrical cords.

Condition:

Good overall condition with light age-related wear consistent with use. Fully functional.

Dimensions (each):

Height: 67 cm

Width: 22 cm

Depth: 19 cm

Weight: approx. 18 kg each

Declaration

Bushells Antiques has dated these Ormolu Marble Table Lamps to the 19th Century.

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

Louis XVI style cassolette lamps are inspired by eighteenth-century French perfume burners and classical urns, characterised by neoclassical symmetry, leaf garlands, fluted bases, and balanced proportions.

These pieces are typically constructed using solid carved marble or alabaster, decorated with fine gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts cast using the lost-wax process and chased by hand.

Authentic nineteenth-century ormolu exhibits hand-chased surface detail, slight irregularities from casting, and natural wear or oxidisation in crevices rather than uniform modern electroplating.

Positioning a pair symmetrically on a contemporary sideboard, console, or mantelpiece creates visual balance and introduces structured historical texture into neutral modern schemes.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, avoiding abrasive chemicals or water on the gilt bronze, while marble surfaces should be wiped gently using a damp microfibre cloth without acidic cleaners.
