A Dolphin Lamp is a decorative table or floor lamp featuring one or more sculptural dolphins incorporated into the base or column. Inspired by classical mythology and maritime symbolism, dolphin lamps became particularly popular during the Regency, Victorian and early twentieth-century periods. Crafted from brass, bronze, spelter or ormolu, they are admired for their elegant forms and association with prosperity, protection and the sea. *Related Terms*\ Brass Lamp, Bronze, Corinthian Lamp, Dolphin, Maritime Antiques, Table Lamp.
