Lion Mask Design - Lamp - Regule

Early 20th Century Classical Regule Table Lamp with Lion Mask Handles

This striking antique table lamp embodies the timeless elegance of classical design, combining sculptural presence with warm decorative appeal. Crafted in regule, it features a refined urn-shaped body inspired by Greco-Roman aesthetics, making it a distinguished accent for both traditional and eclectic interiors.

The lamp displays a rich, aged patina with nuanced bronze and verdigris tones, enhancing its sculptural depth. Two finely modeled lion mask handles adorn the central body, each holding a circular ring, a motif historically associated with strength and nobility. The fluted details on the neck and base further emphasize the quality of the casting and the harmony of its proportions.

Originating from Europe (more likely France) and dating to the early 20th century, this piece reflects the period’s fascination with classical antiquity and decorative arts. The regule construction demonstrates solid craftsmanship, while the natural wear and surface variations are consistent with age and add authentic character. The lamp has been electrified and is functional.

The textile lampshade, original or early replacement, shows visible stains and signs of use, which have been intentionally preserved and are clearly visible in the photographs. This contributes to the lamp’s vintage charm and authenticity.

Dimensions: total height approximately 65 cm (25.6 inches). Lampshade diameter approximately 30 cm (11.8 inches).

A rare and decorative lighting piece, ideal for collectors of classical décor or antique lighting, offering both historical presence and sculptural elegance.
