Antique Ormolu and White Marble Corinthian Table Lamp
This antique ormolu and white marble Corinthian table lamp is a truly remarkable piece that exudes elegance and sophistication.
With its impressive size and exceptional quality, this lamp is sure to make a statement.
The lamp features a stunning marble shaft that leads to an ormolu Corinthian capital, adding a touch of classical beauty to its overall aesthetic. Resting on a brass and marble base, this lamp showcases a perfect blend of materials and craftsmanship. The marble base boasts natural marbling, while the shaft is a pristine white.
Ormolu, a gilding technique involving the application of finely ground gold to a bronze surface, became highly popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was often used in decorative arts to create luxurious and ornate pieces. The Corinthian column, originating from ancient Greece, is characterised by its ornate capitals decorated with acanthus leaves. The combination of ormolu and marble reflects the Victorian era's fascination with classical antiquity and its influence on decorative arts.
Lamps of this design and grandeur were often found in the homes of the aristocracy and within royal households, adding a touch of classical elegance to their interiors. Similar pieces can still be seen today in historic royal residences and museums that showcase the neoclassical taste of the 19th century.
Originally functioning as an oil lamp, it has been thoughtfully converted to electric, ensuring convenience and practicality for modern use.
