Walker & Hall

The business was established in Sheffield in 1845 by George Walker, who became an assistant to Dr John Wright. Dr John Wright conducted important experiments on electroplating; Walker secured the royalty of electroplating for Sheffield.

The business was joined by Henry Hall and became, in 1853, Walker & Hall. The factory was at Howard Street, Sheffield, while showrooms were opened at 45 Holborn Viaduct, London. Branches were opened in Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Cardiff, Belfast, Hull, Bristol, Melbourne and Adelaide (Australia), and Cape Town (South Africa).

Walker & Hall was converted into a limited liability company in 1920 under the style Walker & Hall Ltd and combined in 1963 under the British Silverware Ltd with Mappin & Webb and Elkington & Co. Walker & Hall Sheffield were primarily Sheffield Makers, but items with Birmingham, London and Chester Assay Marks can also be found.

This nineteenth-century Victorian table lamp takes the form of a silver-plated Corinthian column in a neoclassical style, converted to electricity from an oil lamp by Walker & Hall. The metallic silver object exhibits a fluted shaft, a detailed Corinthian capital with acanthus leaf ornamentation, and a stepped square base resting on scrolled feet with ornate foliate mouldings. The upper section incorporates a metal lamp holder and a white twisted fabric power cord. It measures 39 cm high, 19 cm wide, and 19 cm deep. Placed on a sideboard top or desk in a gentleman's library or study, the lamp provides classical illumination and decorative appeal. The silver-plated metal reflects light cleanly, while the architectural column and stepped base lend a traditional presence to interior spaces. The cleaned and rewired lamp integrates historical metalwork with modern electrical functionality, offering a practical lighting solution for a living room, hallway, or office setting.

FAQs

Corinthian column table lamps originated during the Neoclassical revival movement of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Designers drew direct inspiration from classical Greek and Roman architecture, replicating the intricate fluted shafts and decorative acanthus leaf capitals onto domestic lighting objects.

Victorian silver-plated lamps were predominantly constructed using electroplated nickel silver (EPNS) or silver plating over cast brass and copper components. The heavy metal base provided structural stability, while the silver plating imparted a refined metallic finish.

Authentic pieces by Walker & Hall feature stamped makers marks, often including the initials W&H alongside specific symbols such as a flag motif or trade marks. Additionally, genuine nineteenth-century silver plate exhibits distinct construction details, crisp casting marks, and expected light surface wear or subtle tarnish along high points.

A Corinthian column table lamp creates visual contrast when positioned against modern background textures such as matte walls or timber surfaces. Pairing the base with a neutral, crisp fabric lampshade helps integrate the classical architectural form into minimalist or transitional room designs.

Silver-plated items should be cleaned regularly using a soft, lint-free cotton cloth to remove dust and finger marks. For silver tarnish, apply a specialized, non-abrasive silver polishing cream sparingly, avoiding excessive friction that could wear down the thin layer of silver plating over time.
