This 1920s Anglo-Indian table lamp originates from Kashmir and follows a traditional design idiom suited to a gentleman's library. Constructed from carved wood with an ebonised paint finish, the piece displays dark brown surfaces embellished with hand-painted gold foliate lacquer decoration across the circular base, turned baluster column and urn-shaped top. The column incorporates an open spiral twist section flanked by turned mouldings, while the lamp retains its upper brass bulb holder and features a newly rewired electrical setup with traditional braided twist flex. Standing at a height of 48 cm with a width and depth of 19 cm, the lamp base sits compactly on surfaces such as a sideboard top. Placed within a home today, it functions practically to illuminate a desk, side table or sideboard while adding period decorative character.

FAQs

Kashmiri carved and lacquered lighting developed as a prominent artisan craft in northern India during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, blending traditional Persian floral artwork with European furniture forms such as the open barley twist.

These lamps are typically crafted from dense local timber or papier-mache, featuring hand-turned open spiral columns painted with detailed lacquered foliate motifs before being fitted with brass electrical components.

Authentic 1920s examples exhibit hand-painted floral lacquerware with subtle surface craquelure, delicate hand-carved open twist stems, and evidence of historical wiring pathways along the central axis.

Place the lamp base on a dark wood sideboard, desk, or console table alongside structured contemporary accents to create a textural contrast between modern lines and historic pattern work.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry microfiber cloth, avoid abrasive liquid cleaners that disrupt the lacquer finish, and keep the object away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight.
