English Antique Edwardian Brass Desk Table Lamp

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Billy Hunt & Co.
Description

Sitting in that lovely time worn condition with aging to the old brass, the odd ding, but what a wonderful shape of just the right scale for a desk or side table. Weighty for its size with its oblong shaped bevelled base and an attractive shaped stem.

All Billy Hunt & Co lighting is personally chosen for its style, originality, age and detail with all lights being professionally examined by a fully qualified lighting electrician, rewired with an appropriate flex, replugged and PAT tested so it is ready to place and plug in wherever and on whatever you so desire. Unless stated shades are not included.

Dimensions

Overall: Height to Lampholder Top 31cm x Depth 9.5cm

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1910s:
Heavy cast brass base: solid early electric lighting manufacture.
Natural spotting and verdigris in the crevices: unlacquered brass aging naturally over decades.
Softened edges and base dings: honest wear from many years of desk use.
Panelled square column and ball knop: understated early twentieth-century design.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

Billy Hunt and Co is located on a large Victorian farm just a short country drive from the Rangemore village, a designated conservation area, which was built by Michael Thomas Bass in the 1850s to house the Bass Rangemore Estate workers consisting mainly of Victorian redbrick cottages and the occasional barn.

Our home is a classic Victorian designed and well equipped late 19th century 2 story red brick built barn of some 4000 sq feet nestled in classic English countryside, which enjoyed a careful full renovation in 2000. The estate still benefits being managed in the traditional manner with an Estate Manger, estate carpenter, gardeners etc. A rather delightful place to have as our work space.

Martina, there is no Billy at Billy hunt, has led the team since 2103 and is an interior designer qualified from The Inchbald School of Design London whose previous working life included such clients as Vertu, Aston Martin and Johnnie Walker to name a few.

Please do not hesitate to call or email if you have any questions on the pieces that may interest you - Many thanks Martina

FAQs

Edwardian lighting from the early 20th century emphasised classical proportions, refined brass metalwork, and functional task illumination, moving away from heavy Victorian ornamentation towards simpler, balanced forms.

Lamps from this period were predominantly constructed using heavy cast or turned brass, often featuring weighted bases for stability, combined with fabric, glass, or silk shades.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural surface oxidisation, soft wear along touch points, period-appropriate cast weight, and historical joint construction rather than modern lightweight machine stampings.

A classic brass desk lamp can be paired with contemporary office furniture, positioned on a dark wood sideboard, or placed on a library desk to introduce warmth and historical contrast.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, and avoid abrasive metal polishes or chemical cleaners that can strip away original patination.
