Antique English Brass Corinthian Column Table Lamp An elegant antique English solid brass Corinthian column table lamp of classical form, dating from the 19th century, inspired by the architectural grandeur of Ancient Greece and the refined neoclassical designs popularised during the Georgian and Regency periods. The lamp is centred around a beautifully fluted Corinthian column, rising from a substantial stepped square plinth, while the finely cast capital is richly decorated with crisp acanthus leaves, scrolling volutes and classical ornamentation. The proportions are exceptionally well balanced, allowing the lamp to retain a refined architectural presence without appearing overly ornate. Crafted from solid brass throughout, the lamp has acquired a warm golden patina that beautifully highlights the crisp casting and finely fluted shaft. The substantial stepped base provides excellent stability while echoing the architectural form of a monumental temple column. Professionally rewired using traditional braided cable and fitted with a quality brass BC lamp holder, the lamp is fully functional and ready for use. It is shown here with one of our handmade pleated linen shades, available separately. Whether displayed individually on a desk, library table, bedside cabinet or console, this handsome Corinthian lamp brings timeless classical elegance to both traditional and contemporary interiors. Please note: The lampshade shown is for display purposes only and is not included in the sale. It can be purchased separately directly from Shackleton Fox. This lamp is shown with our Medium Empire Lampshade – Ecru with Stucco, handmade in the UK. History The Corinthian column is the most elaborate of the three principal classical architectural orders, first developed in Ancient Greece before becoming widely adopted by the Romans. Distinguished by richly carved acanthus leaf capitals, Corinthian columns became enduring symbols of refinement, learning and architectural grandeur. During the Georgian, Regency and Victorian periods, classical architecture heavily influenced British decorative arts. By the early twentieth century, high-quality brass lamps modelled as miniature Corinthian columns had become highly desirable additions to libraries, studies and drawing rooms, combining practical lighting with timeless architectural design. Their elegant proportions ensured they remained fashionable throughout the twentieth century and continue to complement both antique and contemporary interiors today. Craftsmanship This lamp has been exceptionally well made from solid brass using traditional casting and precision machining techniques. The beautifully cast Corinthian capital displays remarkable detail, with crisp acanthus leaves, scrolling volutes and finely textured ornament that demonstrate the quality of manufacture. The column itself is deeply fluted, producing elegant vertical lines that naturally draw the eye upwards towards the capital. The heavy stepped plinth has been carefully engineered to provide both visual balance and excellent stability, while the entire lamp has been polished to a warm mellow sheen without losing its antique character. Professionally rewired with traditional braided flex and fitted with a brass lamp holder, it is ready for many more decades of use. Design & Decorative Appeal Few lamp designs possess the timeless elegance of the Corinthian column. Its architectural silhouette works beautifully within Georgian, Regency, Victorian, Edwardian and modern classic interiors alike. The restrained brass finish allows the intricate capital to become the focal point, while the clean fluted shaft introduces height and proportion without overwhelming surrounding furnishings. Equally suited to a library, study, entrance hall, bedside table or drawing room, this lamp offers understated sophistication whether illuminated or displayed as an architectural object. Paired with one of our handmade pleated linen shades, it creates a wonderfully warm and refined lighting effect. Provenance England. Late 19th century. Professionally rewired and sourced from a private collection. Dealer's Comments Corinthian lamps...

Magnificent Pair of Gilt Bronze Lion Table Lamps by Henri Picard This exceptional pair of table lamps represents a masterclass in 19th-century French bronze casting. The lions are the work of the renowned Parisian fondeur Henri Picard, whose prestigious commissions included supplying the apartments of Emperor Napoleon III at the Louvre. Originally conceived as the flanking components of a monumental Gilt Bronze Surtout de Table (Centerpiece), these lions have been thoughtfully and expertly converted into a pair of sophisticated table lamps. This conversion breathes new life into the figures, allowing their sculptural grandeur to be appreciated at eye level within a modern interior setting. Each lion is cast in heavy bronze with an exquisite mercury-gilt finish. The quality of the chasing—specifically the tactile rendering of the manes and the powerful anatomical detail of the paws—is characteristic of Picard’s finest work. The lions are mounted upon substantial honed dark marble bases, raised on elegant gilt bun feet. The transition to lighting is seamless, featuring a polished, slender stem that complements rather than distracts from the bronze artistry. "It is rare to find Picard bronzes...

Pair of Antique 19th Century Penwork Display Stands Faux-Calamander Faux-Bois Turned Wood Watch Tazzas, c.1860 An incredibly rare and highly collectible pair of mid-19th-century English turned display stands or watch tazzas, dating to circa 1860. Masterfully turned on a lathe from a fine-grained hardwood, these diminutive pedestals have been beautifully hand-decorated utilising the historic technique of penwork and graining to simulate highly prized calamander (or coromandel) wood. The surface boasts a rich, warm honey-brown base, meticulously hand-painted with fine, undulating charcoal and jet-black "tiger stripes" that wrap entirely around the circular tops and baluster stems, perfectly capturing the prized faux-bois aesthetic. Each stand features a shallow, dished top with a finely raised rim, supported by an elegant, classical vase-turned column that tapers down to a stepped, circular plinth base. A key indicator of their exceptional age and authentic construction is the early, hand-cut wooden screw mechanism, allowing each pedestal to be effortlessly unscrewed into two separate components. Dating from the mid-Victorian era, small, high-quality turned tazzas of this scale were luxury items designed for the dressing tables, library desks, or bedside cabinets of affluent households. They primarily functioned as elegant receptacles to safely hold and display a gentleman’s or lady’s pocket watch...
