This pair of early 20th-century table lamps from the 1920 Classical Revival period is constructed from white onyx, gilt metal, and fabric, displaying a grand Regency design vibe in white and gold colours. Each lamp comprises an oval white onyx urn base mounted on three gilt metal stylised dolphin feet atop a circular plinth, supporting a flared white fabric shade finished with a brown patterned edge and a cream-coloured fringed bottom. The lamps measure 47 cm high, 16.5 cm wide, and 16.5 cm deep. These lamps suit placement on a sideboard top in a living room, dining room, or hallway to provide balanced illumination and decorative character. The wiring has been renewed with authentic corded flex, fitted with a foot switch or finger clicker switch, and PAT tested, while the handmade silk shades are newly crafted.

Early 20th-century onyx table lamps are recognised for combining natural translucent stone with cast metal or gilt mounts, drawing design inspiration from Classical Revival and Neoclassical styles.

These lamps typically pair carved white or veined onyx with cast brass, bronze, or gilt metal supports, finished with fabric shades featuring decorative trim or fringe.

Authentic period pieces feature heavy natural stone with unique veining patterns, cool surface temperatures, hand-detailed metal castings, and evidence of historical electrical fittings or conversions.

Position them symmetrically on a sideboard, console table, or matching bedside stands to add material texture, classical structure, and soft ambient light to modern or traditional rooms.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, clean stone surfaces using gentle pH-neutral soap solutions while avoiding acidic or abrasive chemical products, and lightly dust metal components.
