About the Item

19th Century Silver Plated Corinthian Column Table Lamp – Original Built-In Switch, Rewired & Fully Working A superb example of late 19th-century craftsmanship, this Silver Plated Corinthian Column Table Lamp exudes timeless neoclassical elegance, blending function with fine decorative art. Featuring its original built-in switch cleverly integrated into the column base, this lamp stands as both a utilitarian item and a statement piece, perfect for discerning interiors. The lamp is crafted in the Corinthian style, characterised by the ornate capital – fluted and acanthus-decorated – atop a tapering shaft. This classical design, inspired by the grand architectural orders of ancient Greece and Rome, became particularly popular during the 19th century, aligning with the neoclassical revival movement in decorative arts. The base is square and stepped, adding a sense of architectural solidity and symmetry. Finely cast decorative motifs, including rosettes and laurel garlands, are featured in relief on all four sides of the plinth, reinforcing its classical inspiration. The shaft narrows into an elegant column, with a fluted section and finely detailed mid-section embellishment, leading to the lamp holder. The lamp is silver plated, giving it a polished, refined sheen that beautifully catches the light. Over time, the silver has developed a light patina consistent with age, enhancing its antique appeal. This lamp originates from the late Victorian era, circa 1880–1890, when neoclassicism experienced a major resurgence in British decorative arts. The Corinthian column form was especially favored by makers of fine furniture and lighting, often used to signify wealth, education, and refined taste. The addition of early electric switching mechanisms also places this piece at the forefront of the domestic adoption of electricity in the late 19th century—a transitional period when homes were beginning to convert from gas or oil lighting. Silver-plated decorative pieces were in vogue due to their affordable luxury appeal and were typically made by established English makers in Sheffield or Birmingham, known for high-quality silverware and electroplated goods. Perfect for period interiors, stately desks, libraries, or bedside tables, this lamp offers both historical value and everyday practicality. A striking piece for collectors of neoclassical design or antique lighting.
