Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1920s:
Factory flex hole in the lower plinth: made for electric lighting from the outset.
Cast Ionic capitals and leaf mouldings: revival taste popular in the 1920s.
Heavy cast construction of the bases: methods preceding mid-century pressed metal.
Mellowing and natural oxidisation across the brass: gradual ageing over many decades.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

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.

These early twentieth-century table lamps follow an early nineteenth-century classical design. The pair is constructed from brass in a warm gold colour, showcasing an aged surface and natural patina. Each lamp stands upon a square block plinth base with stepped mouldings at the top and bottom, decorated on each side with a cast mask relief. Rising from the plinth is a tapered fluted column surmounted by a detailed cast Corinthian capital, topped with a brass lamp holder and traditional cotton-covered flex. Measuring 60 cm high, 15 cm wide, and 15 cm deep, these striking pieces suit a neoclassical revival interior style. They work well placed on a sideboard top in a living room, hallway, or dining room to provide functional accent lighting while adding a grand architectural element to the space.

FAQs

Neoclassical Revival lighting draws direct inspiration from classical antiquity, incorporating architectural details such as fluted columns, Corinthian or Ionic capitals, pediments, and symmetrical pedestal bases.

These lamps were primarily constructed using cast or turned brass, bronze, marble, or alabaster, often finished with weighted bases to support the vertical architectural structure.

Authentic period pieces feature sharp casting detail, heavy cast-metal weight, age-appropriate oxidisation within recessed carvings, and traditional joinery or threaded central rod assembly.

Positioning a symmetrical pair on a sideboard, console table, or writing desk introduces structured architectural height and warm metallic tones that complement both traditional and modern decor.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive chemical polishes if retaining an aged patina is preferred, and ensure electrical wiring is checked by a qualified electrician.
