About the Item
An intricate fusion of colonial elegance and traditional Indian craftsmanship, this 19th-century brass canister, originally a lidded vessel, has been masterfully converted into a one-of-a-kind table lamp. Made in India during the British Empire period, circa 1840, the form exudes a refined global aesthetic with enduring decorative appeal.
The body is richly embellished with deeply etched patterns, geometric bands, scrollwork, and symbolic motifs. It is executed with precision and rhythm, evoking the artistic traditions of Mughal and Rajput metalwork. The warm, antiqued brass surface is gracefully aged, exhibiting a soft, mottled patina that enhances the engraved reliefs with shadow and depth. Resting on a polished wooden base and paired with a clean, tapered white linen shade, the lamp strikes a perfect balance between opulence and restraint.
Fully rewired and ready for use, this sculptural piece functions beautifully as a statement lamp while serving as a historic artifact of 19th-century Anglo-Indian design. A superb accent for richly layered interiors, from curated libraries to worldly salons.
