Gilt Metal Corinthian Column LampWhite Opaline Glass Torchère Shade
Delivered free · US duties paid · Insured
The Corinthian column has been borrowed for lamp design since the earliest days of electric lighting, valued for the same reason architects valued it for two thousand years before: a slender fluted shaft, a capital rich with acanthus leaf carving, and a stepped square base together read as instantly classical, regardless of scale. Paired with an uplight glass shade rather than a conventional fabric one, the form becomes a torchère — a light designed to throw its glow upward and outward through

The Corinthian column has been borrowed for lamp design since the earliest days of electric lighting, valued for the same reason architects valued it for two thousand years before: a slender fluted shaft, a capital rich with acanthus leaf carving, and a stepped square base together read as instantly classical, regardless of scale. Paired with an uplight glass shade rather than a conventional fabric one, the form becomes a torchère — a light designed to throw its glow upward and outward through the glass rather than down through a drum.
This lamp is built as a full Corinthian column in gilt metal, its shaft fluted along its full length and rising to a capital modeled with acanthus leaf and volute detail, set on a stepped, square base with beaded and stiff-leaf borders at each level. Note how the transition from round column to square base is handled through a beaded collar rather than a plain step — a detail that ties the vertical fluting to the more architectural, right-angled base below it. Above the capital sits a substantial white opaline glass shade, flared and rounded in a bell-like uplight form, its milky, even-toned glass diffusing light rather than directing it.
The piece reaches us in good used condition, with wear consistent with age and handling, as visible in the photo. Placed in a living room corner or beside an armchair, its height and upward-facing glow make it better suited to ambient corner lighting than a close reading light.
Worked in gilt metal with a white opaline glass shade, the lamp stands 64 cm tall with the shade measuring 20 cm in diameter — a substantial floor-adjacent piece rather than a small side-table lamp. Every piece we send is professionally packed by hand, fully insured, and shipped worldwide.
