Spelter Lamp Around 1900 Unusual and Cultural Interest

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Limited Editions
Description

This rather unusual spelter lamp is for sale of behalf of a client who is moving house. It is working order as can be seen but we feel it needs to be rewired before use, as the wiring is not up to date. Castings are crisp and clean and its an impressive size. Might go well in a restaurant in a steel town maybe or perhaps for someone with a family history in that occupation.

It depicts an iron worker and the box on the base lights up which is quite novel. It can be used with just that on or with all on. It has come with a totally non associated shade that fits it rather well. That can go with it if the purchaser would like it. Please see pictures as they tell mmuch more than I can within the space here. Give us a call if you would like to discuss. Keenly priced we feel as client is moving, as mentioned, and would like to clear a couple of bits and pieces.

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

A spelter lamp is a decorative lighting fixture crafted from a zinc alloy, popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries as an accessible alternative to cast bronze.

These lamps were produced by casting molten zinc alloy into detailed moulds, followed by applying paint, cold-patination, or electroplating to mimic patinated bronze finishes.

Authentic spelter is significantly lighter in weight than bronze, non-magnetic, and typically exhibits white or light grey metal where the surface finish has worn away.

Position the fixture on a console table, desk, or side table alongside neutral-toned decor to allow the sculpted metal silhouette and ambient light to serve as a focal accent.

Dust gently using a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical solvents, water, or abrasive cleansers that can strip the original surface patination.
