About the Item

A late 19th-century English toleware tea canister, converted into a table lamp, attributed to Parnall & Sons of Bristol. This cylindrical tin canister is finished in a rich ochre yellow with hand-painted classical motifs—featuring a bundle of trumpets, a horn, pan flute, and laurel sprigs—all rendered in fine detail and framed by dark rolled edges. Originally used for tea storage in a Victorian-era grocer or apothecary, this canister now serves as a unique table lamp, combining industrial charm with timeless decorative appeal. The body retains its original maker’s stamp from Parnall & Sons, a noted outfitter for commercial establishments during the period. Its converted function highlights the utilitarian elegance of 19th-century British design. Paired with a classic conical linen shade, this lamp brings character and a sense of history to any traditional or eclectic interior.
