What periods do these lamps cover?

The pieces span the nineteenth century through the Art Deco movement of the 1920s and 1930s. Victorians favoured classical myth and allegorical figures. Later decades shifted toward streamlined Art Deco animal studies and stylised human figures.

Are these original lamps or conversions?

Many items began as bronze or spelter mantel sculptures, candlesticks, or vases subsequently adapted into lamps. Candlestick conversions and root wood pieces retain their original function with added wiring. Older bases often show drill holes or internal modifications made during conversion.

How do I care for cold-painted surfaces?

Cold-painted finishes are delicate because the pigment sits on the metal rather than being baked on. Dust them gently with a dry, soft brush. Avoid liquid cleaners, polishes, or abrasive cloths which strip the original paintwork.

What is the difference between bronze and spelter?

Bronze is a copper alloy offering high durability, sharp casting definition, and a rich natural patina. Spelter is a softer, lighter zinc-based metal used to produce accessible decorative figures. Spelter figures are typically heavier at the base due to internal weighting or marble plinths.
