This matched pair of Edwardian standard lamps originates from a Dublin college and dates to 1930. The pieces are constructed from dark brown oak, featuring a turned column with an octagonal section, edelweiss floral carving, and a moulded roundel base resting on small feet. Each lamp holds a newly handmade burgundy and cream patterned velvet fabric shade complete with an elaborate fringe of tassels. Measuring 183 cm in height with a 56 cm diameter, these large floor-standing fixtures operate with authentic corded flex and a foot switch or finger clicker switch. In a contemporary home, such lamps sit effectively at the end of a sofa or in a traditional sitting room to provide ambient corner lighting.

FAQs

A standard lamp, also known as a floor lamp, is a tall freestanding lighting fixture designed to rest on the floor, providing ambient or task illumination within a room. Popularised during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these lamps frequently feature turned timber posts and decorative fabric shades.

Traditional standard lamps were constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, featuring turned central stems and weighted bases for balance. Shades were typically crafted from woven textiles, silk, or velvet, often detailed with fringe, tassels, or braided trim.

Authentic antique oak standard lamps feature hand-turned wood construction, natural grain variations, and aged patination across the finish. Original joinery at the base connection and evidence of historical re-wiring or original bulb fittings also indicate authenticity.

Standard lamps function well when placed beside armchairs or framing a sofa to establish a layered lighting scheme and balanced visual symmetry. Pairing wooden standard lamps with neutral or patterned soft furnishings introduces warm texture and historical contrast to contemporary spaces.

Clean the wooden stem using a soft, lint-free cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly to maintain the timber finish. Fabric shades should be gently dusted using a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner on a low setting to protect delicate fringe and tassels.
