Tall Spelter Lamp with Torchere Shade

1900 - 1920
Description

Circa 1910-1920 a tall and beautifully detailed spelter lamp featuring a woman holding a torchere light on a pole. It is in very good condition with no signs of damage or repair.

The figure measures 73.5cm in height including the shade, and the original base is 13.5cm high and approximately 21cm in diameter. The glass shade and fitting are original.

The lamp was rewired to UK specifications using flex cable and utilises the original 'on/off' switch at the top of the pole, and it will need an up to date PAT test before use.

Postage and packing for the UK mainland only is included in the price and for remote areas or abroad please contact us for a delivery quote. Alternatively, collection can be arranged by appointment from SW London, or Esher in Surrey.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Spelter is a zinc-based alloy that became popular in the nineteenth century as a lighter, cost-effective alternative to bronze for decorative statues and table lamps.

These pieces were cast using detailed moulds, then finished with patinated or painted coatings to simulate dark bronze, often combined with frosted or moulded glass shades.

Authentic spelter is softer and lighter than bronze, frequently showing a grey white-metal base beneath areas where the dark surface patina has worn over time.

Positioning a sculptural lamp on a console table, dark wood sideboard, or mantelpiece creates a theatrical focal point that enhances traditional and eclectically layered spaces.

Dust gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and avoid liquid polishes or solvent cleaners, ensuring electrical components are checked by a qualified electrician.
