Superb Pair of Late 19th Century Regency Style Bronze & Mahogany Torcheres in the Manner of George Smith or Thomas Hope

19th century
Description

A superb pair of late 19th century (circa 1880) Regency style bronze and mahogany torcheres in the manner of George Smith or Thomas Hope in the Egyptian style.

The torcheres each consist of a circular mahogany top leading down to a fluted bronze column with scrolling foliate design towards the base.

The superb tripod bronze bases retain traces of original gilding and consist of splayed naturalistic animal legs with foliate decoration, three animal paw feet with stylised anthemion designs all supported on bronze tri-form plinths.

This pair of torcheres are in very good original condition for age, are of stable construction and can go straight into a home.

Please note: each torchere has one small hole in the mahogany top and base having previously been electrified but these can easily be hidden.

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.

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

A torchere is a tall, slender freestanding pedestal or stand historically designed to hold a light source, such as a candle, oil lamp, or torch. During the Regency era, these pieces drew heavy inspiration from classical antiquity, featuring motifs derived from ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian architecture.

Regency torcheres were typically crafted from fine hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, often complemented by cast bronze, brass, or gilt metalwork. Heavy cast metal elements were frequently integrated into the base to provide balance and stability for tall, slender stems.

Authentic Regency and Regency Revival torcheres display classical architectural proportions, fluted or reeded shafts, and triform or tripod bases. Key identifying design elements include monopodia legs, lion paw feet, acanthus leaf decoration, and detailed bronze mounts.

Torcheres are effective for adding vertical structure when framing a fireplace, flanking a sideboard, or positioned within an underutilised space. They can display classical busts, sculptures, potted flora, or contemporary lighting fixtures to introduce architectural interest.

Dust mahogany surfaces regularly using a clean, soft cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish periodically along the grain. Clean bronze components gently using a dry, lint-free cloth to maintain the established patina without stripping protective surface finishes.
