Glc Brass Table or Wall Lamp of Hexagonal Baluster Form

1900 - 1920
Description

An early 20th-century brass lamp of hexagonal baluster form, standing on a tripod base and manufactured by the General Lighting Company (GLC) — stamped to the underside. Often mistaken for Faraday & Son examples, this is a distinct and well-made alternative with comparable quality.

One leg retains a hanging eye, allowing the lamp to be wall-mounted if desired. The geometry of the form gives it a strong architectural feel, making it equally suited to desks, side tables, or wall placement.

Recently rewired and PAT tested.

Condition Report

Excellent antique condition with consistent patination. Unpolished. Fully functional and ready for use.

The photographs form part of the condition report, so please review them carefully. Further images or a video viewing can be provided on request. Viewings are welcome at our Southampton unit, strictly by appointment.

If you have any questions regarding this piece, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

FAQs

A baluster form lamp features a central stem shaped like a baluster, a moulded vase-like column historically favoured in classical architecture and decorative metalwork. Popularised during the 18th and 19th centuries, these lamps draw upon traditional turnery techniques and classical proportions.

Historical brass lamps were constructed primarily from cast or spun brass, an alloy of copper and zinc known for its durability and warm metallic lustre. Internal components often featured iron reinforcement rods, while fittings incorporated ceramic or early bakelite bayonet mounts.

Authentic period brass lighting typically displays natural surface patination, subtle casting irregularities, and original joining threads or screw fittings. Look for maker stamps, casting marks, or historical mounting holes along the base that indicate original function.

A solid brass lamp provides textural warmth when placed atop a timber sideboard, bedside cabinet, or writing desk. Contrast its classical silhouette against contemporary minimalist backdrops or integrate it into a layered, traditional interior scheme.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth to prevent dirt accumulation. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes, as these remove natural patination; apply a light coat of microcrystalline wax if gentle preservation is required.
