Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1960s:
Knurled thumb screw on the telescopic stem: mid-twentieth-century lighting construction.
Sharp, straight edges on the marble plinth: modern machine cutting.
Uniform cast brass laurel swags and rosettes: post-war Empire revival decorative work.
Modern brass bayonet socket: made for electric lighting rather than a conversion.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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.

This French Empire style floor lamp from 1960 combines a polished brass column with grey marble sections. The adjustable design stands on a heavy square marble plinth fitted with brass mounts, mouldings on all four sides, and raised brass paw feet. A laurel wreath and papyrus leaf capital sits below a grey marble top, supporting the fluted standard column and single bulb fitting. The piece measures 180 cm high, 30.5 cm wide, and 30.5 cm deep. Positioned in a home today, this standard lamp functions as practical reading illumination at the end of a sofa or in a corner of a traditional study or living room. The electrical wiring is fully renewed, cleaned, and PAT tested for modern use. The balanced mix of reflective gold-toned metal and cool grey stone introduces classical architectural lines and refined proportions to interior spaces.

FAQs

Empire style lighting draws heavily from classical Roman and Greek architectural elements, featuring motifs such as fluted columns, laurel wreaths, and paw feet, often crafted in heavy brass or bronze with marble accents.

These lamps were constructed using solid cast brass standard shafts paired with turned or slab marble bases, often incorporating brass internal telescopic mechanisms for height adjustment.

Look for substantial weight, cast metal components with detailed classical chased decoration such as acanthus leaves or lion paw feet, and a heavy marble or weighted base to balance the standard shaft.

Position the lamp beside a modern armchair or modern sofa to provide functional task lighting while creating a balanced visual contrast between classical structure and clean contemporary lines.

Dust the brass column with a dry microfibre cloth and clean marble components using a pH-neutral cleaner, avoiding abrasive polishes or harsh chemical solvents that could strip patination or damage sealants.
