About the Item

This is a splendid antique Victorian silver-plated Corinthian column oil table lamp now converted to electricity, circa 1880 in date. This decorative antique table lamp features an elegant Corinthian Capital decorated with classical ornate foliage in the form of splendid acanthus leaves above a striking fluted shaft, and it stands on a large and weighted partially stepped square base decorated with garlands.   Add an element of classical style to your home with this exquisite antique silver-plated table lamp.   Condition: In excellent working condition having been beautifully cleaned and rewired, please see photos for confirmation. Dimensions in cm: Height 69 cm x Width 17 cm x Depth 17 cm Dimensions in inches: Height 2 foot, 3 inches x Width 7 inches x Depth 7 inches Corinthian capital It has been suggested that the foliage of the Greek Corinthian capital was based on the Acanthus spinosus, that of the Roman on the Acanthus mollis. The leaves are generally carved in two "ranks" or bands, like one leafy cup set within another. One of the most beautiful Corinthian capitals is that from the Tholos of Epidaurus (400 BC); it illustrates the transition between the earlier Greek capital, as at Bassae, and the Roman version that Renaissance and modern architects inherited and refined. In Roman architectural practice, capitals are briefly treated in their proper context among the detailing proper to each of the "Orders", in the only complete architectural textbook to have survived from classical times, the Ten Books on Architecture, by Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, better known just as Vitruvius, dedicated to the emperor Augustus. The various orders are discussed in Vitruvius' books iii and iv. Vitruvius describes Roman practice in a practical fashion. He gives some tales about the invention of each of the Orders, but he does not give a hard and fast set of canonical rules for the execution of capitals.   Two further, specifically Roman orders of architecture have their characteristic capitals, the sturdy Tuscan capitals, typically used in military buildings, similar to Greek Doric, but with fewer small moldings in its profile, and the invented Composite capitals not even mentioned by Vitruvius, which combined Ionic volutes and Corinthian acanthus capitals, in an order that was otherwise quite similar in proportions to the Corinthian, itself an order that Romans employed much more often than Greeks.
