What periods do these lamp stands come from?

The pieces span the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, encompassing Georgian, Regency, William IV, Victorian, and Art Deco eras. Alongside British cabinetmaking traditions, the selection includes Chinese export and Qing Dynasty hardwood stands from the same timeframe.
