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 figure lamps are decorative electric or oil lighting fixtures made from a zinc alloy, popular during the late Victorian era as an accessible alternative to cast bronze. These lamps frequently depicted historical figures, such as musketeers, cavaliers, or mythological subjects.

Spelter lamps were cast using a zinc-based alloy that was softer and lighter than bronze. The metal was typically finished with a dark chemical patina or bronze lacquer to imitate cast bronze, paired with fabric or glass shades.

Authentic pieces exhibit mold seam lines consistent with period casting methods and show white or grey metal exposed beneath areas where the dark surface patina has worn away over time. They are noticeably lighter in weight than solid bronze equivalents.

Place a symmetrical pair on a side table, desk, or sideboard to create balanced ambient lighting. They complement traditional, dark academia, or eclectically curated room schemes alongside dark woods and leather accents.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth or gentle microfibre brush to prevent buildup. Avoid using abrasive polishes, water, or harsh chemicals, which can strip or damage the original applied surface patina.
