This pair of table lamps from the early 20th century originates from the Neoclassical Revival period. The matching lamps are constructed from silver-plated metal in a gleaming silver colour and are styled as tall pricket candlesticks. Each lamp displays a fluted column shaft rising from a decorated triangular triform base. The triform bases incorporate relief panels with distinct images on each side, supported by solid lion's claw feet. Additional details include decorative mouldings around the base and collar, turned vase-like sections on the shafts, and cylindrical candle-style tubes fitted with bulb fittings at the top. The pair measures 71 cm high, 17 cm wide, and 17 cm deep. These wired table lamps suit placement on a sideboard top, desk, or console table in a gentleman's library or formal study, providing functional illumination while introducing a classical decorative accent to the interior space.

FAQs

A pricket candlestick originally featured a central spike to secure a wax candle, historically utilized in religious settings. Modern or converted versions adapt this architectural form into electric table lamps.

Pricket candlesticks were historically cast from dense metals such as brass, bronze, silver plate, or iron to ensure stability for tall wax candles.

authentic period pieces exhibit hand-chased relief work, subtle casting marks on the internal base, and natural tarnish or oxidisation where handling occurs.

A pair of these lamps can be arranged symmetrically on a console table, mantelpiece, or sideboard to add height and structured metal accents to a room.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and clean gently using specialised silver polish only when necessary to preserve the silver layer from wearing down.
