An impressive Edwardian figural table lamp dating to circa 1910, featuring an ornate gilt-brass cherub musician supporting an original cranberry glass shade.
The sculptural base depicts a finely detailed cherub holding a lute, executed with elaborate period modelling and a warm aged gilt finish. Above, the original hand-moulded cranberry glass shade is supported by a two-arm carrier and crowned with a decorative finial.
The shade is particularly attractive, with acid-etched floral decoration and an elegantly scalloped, ruffled rim. When illuminated, the cranberry glass produces a rich, warm ambient glow that complements the gilt metalwork beautifully.
Standing approximately 78 cm tall and weighing around 14 lb, this is a substantial decorative lamp with considerable presence, ideally suited to a drawing room, entrance hall, library or sophisticated period interior.
The lamp retains its original brass B22 bayonet-fit bulb holder, a 1930s ivory Bakelite inline switch and period white Bakelite three-round-pin MK plug. It has been professionally rewired in period-style three-core fabric-braided cable, earthed and tested.
