Gilt Metal Corinthian Column Table LampFluted Shaft, Empire Style Figural Base
Delivered free · US duties paid · Insured
The Corinthian column h lamp designers with a ready-made classical vocabulary since the earliest days of electric lighting, drawing directly on the architectural orders that European taste returned to again and again through the nineteenth century. A fluted shaft topped with an acanthus-leaf capital reads instantly as antique, and set on a weighted figural base, the form gave a small tabletop object the presence of something architectural rather than merely decorative.
height 55 cm / 21.7 in, width 15 cm / 5.9 in, depth 15 cm / 5.9 in — roughly the height of a golf club

Will I pay import duties or tariffs?
No. I pay the US import duties and tariffs, so there is nothing to pay on delivery.

Every piece is packed individually and fully insured. Send me a photo of the piece and the box, and I handle the claim with the carrier and agree the solution with you.
What if it doesn't suit my room?

The Corinthian column h lamp designers with a ready-made classical vocabulary since the earliest days of electric lighting, drawing directly on the architectural orders that European taste returned to again and again through the nineteenth century. A fluted shaft topped with an acanthus-leaf capital reads instantly as antique, and set on a weighted figural base, the form gave a small tabletop object the presence of something architectural rather than merely decorative.
This lamp is worked in gilt metal, its shaft fluted along its full length and rising to a capital modeled with acanthus leaf detail, continuing down through a further band of dense foliate chasing before meeting a figural base worked with reclining animal forms at each corner, set on a shaped, stepped plinth. Note how the ornament changes register three times along the column's height — architectural fluting above, dense naturalistic foliage at the mid-section, and sculptural figures at the base — a layered approach to decoration typical of the historicist revival styles popular through the second half of the nineteenth century. The piece has been fully restored by a specialist polisher and finished with a protective microcrystalline wax to guard against future oxidation.
The piece reaches us in good condition, having been professionally restored, with the wear typical of an object of this type largely addressed through that restoration work. As this is a lamp, it will still pass through our own workshop for a full rewire and safety check before dispatch, delivered working and ready to use in your country regardless of any prior electrical work. Placed on a console or side table, its height and architectural detail make it a genuine focal point rather than a background light.
Worked in gilt metal and weighing 2.2 kg, the lamp has real substance and stability from its wide figural base, standing well above the height of most table lamps. Every piece we send is professionally packed by hand, fully insured, and shipped worldwide.
