Brass Samovar Lamp

A remarkable fusion of history and function, this late 19th-century Russian brass samovar has been masterfully repurposed into a striking table lamp. Originally crafted as a traditional Russian tea urn, this piece bears intricate engravings, imperial hallmarks, and a beautifully aged patina, highlighting its authenticity and historical significance. The body of the samovar is adorned with elaborate Russian inscriptions and award medallions, indicating its prestigious origin. The markings reference Vasily Stepanovich Batashov, a renowned samovar manufacturer from Tula, Russia, active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The engravings include the Russian Imperial Double-Headed Eagle, a hallmark of high-quality craftsmanship, along with various medallions commemorating international exhibitions, dating as early as 1870 and 1883. This brass samovar features ornate scrolled handles, a pierced base for ventilation, and a decorative spigot with a foliate key, all indicative of Tsarist-era Russian metalwork. The square-footed base adds to its stability, while the polished brass surface showcases a warm patina, preserving its aged character. This historically significant and beautifully repurposed piece makes an exquisite addition to eclectic, classical, or antique-inspired interiors. Whether used as a statement lighting piece or admired for its rich cultural heritage, this samovar lamp...
