Early 20th Century Green Marble and Gilt Bronze Table Lamp
Located in Richmond, London
A superb quality gilt bronze mounted urn in Verde Antico marble, now fitted as a table lamp. France or Italy, late 19th – early 20th century.
Why we like it
This table lamp is crafted from rare Verde Antico marble, quarried in Larissa, Thessaly, Greece. Known for its deep green color and distinct white and black veining, this marble is valued among collectors and designers for its unique character and scarcity. The stone is paired with finely cast gilt bronze mounts that provide a pleasing contrast and add subtle elegance to the piece.
Verde Antico marble is considered rare and historically significant. The Corsi Collection of Decorative Stones at Oxford University Museum of Natural History catalogue entry 566. (143.2) reads: “Another of a lighter green, with white and more definite black markings. The two amazing tables in the Galleria degli Animali in the Vatican Museum are of this type. (Very rare).” Image attached to the listing.
The Galleria degli Animali, or Hall of Animals, was created during the papacy of Pius VI (1775–1799) as a “stone zoo” of sorts, using ancient sculptures that were often restored and occasionally reimagined. This ambitious project brought together prominent artists of the 18th century, including Francesco Antonio Franzoni from Carrara. The artworks in this space reflect themes of nature and hunting, with coloured marbles chosen to suggest the textures and colours of animal fur, feathers, or to create eye-catching contrasts. See last two images in the listing.
Combining Verde Antico marble with high-quality gilt bronze accents, this lamp is a distinctive piece that brings historical character and timeless appeal to any space.
May be wired for any country. Lampshade not included.
Height without shade: 53 cm / 21 in.

Antique Ormolu Table Lamps and Other Ormolu Lighting for Sale on 1stDibs
Able to double as task lighting, table lamps can illuminate darker corners of a room, and antique ormolu table lamps and other ormolu lighting can be incorporated into a variety of spaces.
Your style of decorating doesn't have to necessarily have to be rooted in neoclassical design in order to tastefully introduce ormolu — while demand for the material and/or technique was at its peak in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries, ormolu table lamps, desk lamps and other ormolu furniture and decor are still widely loved by contemporary designers and collectors.
What is ormolu?
Ormolu is a brilliant form of decorative trickery. To the untrained eye, ormolu table lamps, clocks, jewelry boxes and other ormolu furniture and decor look like they're made of solid gold. But those in the know recognize ormolu — or elaborate bronze gilding — as having been essential to French design in the 18th and 19th centuries as a cornerstone of the neoclassical and Empire styles.
“Most commonly, ormolu refers to a bronze object that has been covered with gold, typically 18 karat or 24 karat,” explains Jamie Sinai, director of the antiques specialist Mayfair Gallery, in London. “For that reason, ormolu is sometimes called gilt bronze or, in French, bronze doré. Strictly speaking, however, the term ormolu also denotes the technique of applying gold to a metal.”
“The word comes from the French or moulu, which translates as ‘ground or powdered gold’ — the form the gold takes before it is applied to a metal surface.”
From the court of King Louis XVI to that of Napoleon I, the French elite snapped up furniture mounted with ormolu, as well as sconces, candelabra and table lamps made from the material.
If you're looking to bring a touch of this 19th-century pizzazz to your desk, an antique ormolu table lamp is a decorative touch that blends ornament and functionality. Perfect for lighting your nightstand or reading nook, table lamps play an integral role in styling an inviting room, and a well-crafted ormolu table lamp does more than provide light; the right fixture-and-table combination can add a focal point or creative element to any interior.
Today, antiques collectors and interior designers seek out the finest in ormolu clocks and continue to prize ormolu for its extraordinary craftsmanship and history-infused glamour.
“This wondrous material was highly sought after in France as the ultimate luxury. It magically resembled solid gold and sparkled under candlelight,” says Sinai.
Find antique ormolu table lamps, ormolu floor lamps and other ormolu lighting on 1stDibs.
