Pair of Gilt Metal Seahorse Table Lamps on Lucite Bases, Wired for USA

About the Item

A pair of gilt metal seahorse fragments, transformed into sculptural table lamps and mounted on custom lucite bases. These 19th-century forms captivate with their bold silhouette and textured surface, each cast with remarkable detail down the ribbed spine and coiled tail. The aged gilt finish brings warmth and luster, lending the pieces the patina of time without losing any of their seaside whimsy. Professionally wired for the USA, they are ready to illuminate. Resting on minimalist lucite plinths, the bases offer a crisp, contemporary contrast to the organic curvature of the seahorses—allowing the forms to appear as if floating. Whether flanking a console in an entryway or adding character to a coastal-inspired bedroom, these lamps bring both light and personality. The balance of historical detail and modern presentation makes them ideal for eclectic interiors, or for softening a space defined by harder architectural lines. Pair them with neutral linen shades to keep the focus on the gilt forms, or go bold with something patterned. Either way, they’re conversation starters—elegant, playful, and distinctly one of a kind.
