An absolutely stunning pair of antique French marble and gilt bronze lamps. They were made in France, they date from around the 1890-1910 period.

The quality is outstanding, they are exquisitely made from marble which has a gorgeous rouge colour tone. They have high quality gilt bronze ormolu mounts, with incredibly fine and intricate details.

The condition is excellent, we have had them re-wired and they are in good working order. We have paired them with a lovely pair of modern tapered and pleated shades that compliment them very well.

French Neoclassical lighting from the late eighteenth century onwards drew architectural inspiration from Greco-Roman antiquity, featuring classical urn shapes, floral garlands, acanthus foliage, and gilded metal mounts.

Traditional pieces were constructed using carved natural marbles, such as Rouge Griotte or variegated marble, paired with chased gilt bronze, also known as ormolu, to create contrast between stone and polished metal.

Authentic examples feature heavy cast bronze mounts with hand-chased detailing rather than lightweight brass stampings, alongside original natural veining and varied density within the marble.

Position a pair symmetrically on a dark wood sideboard, console table, or bedside cabinets to introduce classical proportion and warm metal tones into contemporary schemes.

Dust gilt bronze regularly with a soft dry brush, avoiding liquid metal polishes which strip gilded layers, and clean marble bases using a dry microfibre cloth or neutral pH stone cleaner.
