Where other styles decorated with leaves and beads alone, Empire ornament brought faces — classical heads amid palmettes and fruit baskets, cast in relief so that a lamp carried a small crowd of antiquity on its stem. Paired with a column of diamond-cut glass and a marble foot, the formula produced exactly this kind of object: a lamp that reads as a miniature monument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lamp is in the French Empire style: a column of diamond-point cut glass rising between richly cast gilt metal sections — the lower stem worked with classical faces beneath fruit baskets, framed by scrolls, palmettes, and rosettes on a stippled ground, over a gadrooned urn socle; above, a collar of grapevine ornament beneath the socket; the whole standing on a domed, lotus-chased circular foot with twin period switches, raised on toggle feet over a white marble disc. Look at the faces on the stem — each sits under its basket of cast fruit with the features fully modelled at barely a centimetre tall, the density of ornament per square inch that this style demanded and later copies thin out. The lamp reaches us with a damaged plug and is fully rewired through our workshop before dispatch — cord, plug, and switches made safe — fitted with the appropriate plug or adapter for your country, and delivered working and ready to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gilt metal, cut glass, and marble are in good condition, with age-consistent wear to the surfaces, as the photographs show. Whoever lit this small monument before you kept its crowd of faces crisp. It suits a bedside table, a desk, or a mantel end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lamp is cut glass and cast gilt metal on marble, rewired before dispatch.
