This Edwardian table lamp is an early twentieth-century lighting piece constructed from polished brass and fabric. The lamp has a gold-coloured reflective metal finish, a shaped baluster stem with turned mouldings, and a stepped circular base. The white fabric shade features a scalloped lower edge, a small metal finial at the top, and delicate red embroidered swags along with painted floral panels depicting colourful figures and foliage. Rewired with authentic corded flex, it stands 51 cm high, 20 cm wide, and 20 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this lamp suits placement on a living room sideboard top or a hallway console table. It provides soft illumination while adding traditional English country house character to interior spaces.

FAQs

Lamps from the early 20th century, particularly the Edwardian era, often featured turned or cast baluster stems, weighted circular bases, and polished finishes. They transitioned from gas or oil fixtures to electricity, combining classic proportions with decorative cloth or glass shades.

These table lamps were predominantly constructed from solid cast or sheet brass, frequently weighted inside the base with cast iron. Shades were typically crafted from pleated or embroidered silk and cotton textiles, or mouth-blown frosted glass.

Authentic period lamps exhibit heavy weighted bases, turned metal joints, and original threads or fittings. Natural oxidisation or subtle tarnish in unpolished crevices, along with historical rewiring signs, help confirm age.

Position the lamp on a contemporary side table, console, or desk to add historical texture and warmth. The metallic brass tones contrast effectively against moody wall paint shades or minimalist timber furniture.

Dust metal components regularly with a clean, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid harsh chemical polishes if the original lacquer or patina is to be preserved, and inspect all electrical wiring periodically for safety.
