Pair of Antique English Victorian Brass and Glass Candle-lamps

19th century
For Sale by Antiques4EU
Description

A rare Pair of Mid 19th Century Antique English Victorian Brass and Glass Candle-lamps in the gothic taste, their spring-loaded tubes in good order, and remarkably, still retaining their original shades. These of a cherry-red colour, somewhere between cranberry and ruby, with both colour and botanical decoration matching the columns of each lamp, which rise from stepped round brass bases. Somewhat surprisingly, it would appear that suitable candles for use with such antique lamps are probably still available today, Ref. Charles Farris 1845 Chandlers London.

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

Originating in 19th-century Britain, these candle lamps feature ruby-tinted glass produced by adding gold salts to molten glass, designed to protect candle flames from draughts while deflecting warm ambient light.

They typically combine cast or stamped brass bases with blown glass stems and removable storm shades, often decorated with hand-painted enamel botanical motifs and brass crown galleries.

Authentic pieces feature pontil marks on the glass base, subtle variations in hand-painted enamel details, and brass fittings that show natural oxidisation rather than modern uniform plating.

Position a matching pair symmetrically on a dining table or fireplace mantelpiece to create a focal point, pairing the rich red glass with neutral backgrounds or dark timber surfaces.

Wipe glass surfaces gently with a soft microfibre cloth and warm water, avoiding harsh chemicals that can strip enamel decoration, while keeping brass elements clean without abrasive polishes.
