A Brass Lamp Base is the structural foundation of a table or floor lamp, crafted predominantly from solid brass. Antique brass lamp bases vary considerably in style, from elegant Corinthian columns and candlesticks to highly decorative Victorian and French designs. Valued for their strength, durability and ability to develop a rich natural patina, brass lamp bases remain among the most desirable forms of antique lighting. Professionally restored examples are often sympathetically rewired to modern electrical standards while preserving their original character.
