About the Item

This life-size cast bronze Roman Centurion soldier torchiere floor lamp, circa 1920, is a commanding work of decorative art that blends function with historical grandeur. Standing tall and fully detailed, the Centurion is depicted in full battle regalia, wearing a crested helmet, ornate breastplate, and classical armor. His muscular form and finely chiseled features reflect the craftsmanship of early 20th-century foundries, where sculptors combined neoclassical inspiration with Art Deco influences. The soldier holds a tall torch aloft, now electrified as a torchiere lamp, topped with a glass globe that diffuses light dramatically. In his other hand, he carries a round shield adorned with lion and classical motifs, reinforcing his role as both protector and symbol of strength. The figure is mounted on a decorative bronze plinth, adding stability and presence. At nearly life-size, this piece serves not only as a floor lamp but also as a striking focal point for a grand entryway, library, or formal living space. Collectors and designers will appreciate its rarity, exceptional casting detail, and bold presence. A true statement of opulence and timeless classical style, this lamp bridges fine art and functional design in one monumental work.

Fine Quality Agricultural Themed Figural Bronze Tall Floor Lamp Circa 1900
By F. Milliot
Located in Swedesboro, NJ
This agricultural themed figural bronze tall floor lamp, circa 1900, is a remarkable piece of decorative art and functional lighting. Standing tall and stately, the lamp features a finely cast bronze figure of a working man in period attire, symbolizing strength, labor, and the agrarian lifestyle. The sculpted details—from the folds of his garments to the expressive posture—exemplify early 20th century craftsmanship and artistic realism. Rising above the figure is an intricately designed stem that supports a large, decorative globe adorned with elaborate foliate and scrollwork patterns. The top is crowned with a smaller figural accent, creating a sense of vertical grandeur. The rich bronze patina enhances the depth of the detailing, giving this piece a warm, timeless character. Ideal as a statement piece for entryways, living rooms, or libraries, this lamp blends beautifully with antique, Hollywood Regency, and even mid-century modern design schemes. Beyond its practical lighting function, it serves as a sculptural focal point that reflects the elegance, symbolism, and artistry of turn-of-the-century European design. A rare find, this tall bronze floor lamp...
