This Victorian table lamp dates from 1860 in the English Country House style. The piece combines a straight white opaline glass cylindrical column stem with a square stepped plinth base, turned brass collars, and a bayonet bulb fitting. The lamp has been re-wired and PAT tested, and includes old wear marks on the back of the plinth alongside polished brass and white glass surfaces. It measures 61 cm high, 16 cm wide, and 16 cm deep. Place this table lamp on a sideboard top or large side table in a traditional living room, hallway, or study. The upright proportions and neutral white and brass palette suit classic interior settings, providing both decorative presence and practical surface lighting for the home.

FAQs

Opaline glass was popularised in 19th-century Europe, known for its translucent, milky appearance created to imitate porcelain. During the Victorian era, opaline glass was frequently combined with brass mountings to construct tall, elegant table lamps and oil lamp bases.

These lighting fixtures traditionally feature hand-blown opaline or milk glass shafts combined with cast or turned brass sockets, collars, and weighted plinth bases.

Authentic pieces often exhibit slight hand-blown glass variations, hand-turned brass components with historical thread pitch, and natural patination or surface wear consistent with age.

Position the lamp on a dark wood sideboard, console table, or desk to contrast the white opaline shaft against neutral or deep-toned backdrops.

Dust the glass and metal surfaces regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners that could strip original metal lacquers or patination.
