A handsome late 19th-century silver-plated table lamp featuring a classic Corinthian column design, echoing the grandeur of neoclassical architecture. The fluted shaft is topped with an ornate Corinthian capital adorned with acanthus leaf motifs, all standing on a stepped square base with clean, reeded detail that adds architectural presence and timeless appeal.
Although unmarked, the quality of craftsmanship suggests British manufacture, likely from one of Sheffield’s skilled silversmiths active during the Victorian era. Originally intended as a decorative oil or mantel lamp, this piece has been sensitively converted for electric use, allowing it to serve as a stylish and functional feature in contemporary interiors.
The lamp has been professionally rewired to UK standards, PAT tested, and fitted with high-quality British components, ensuring both safety and reliability while preserving its antique character.
