Description from the seller
An exquisite and substantial antique English solid cast brass table lamp, radiating historical character, warmth, and fine craftsmanship.
The circular hallmark is clearly stamped on the underside of the round gallery/drip pan directly beneath the lamp socket, bearing the inscription "W.T. & S. Bham 3008" (visible in image la7.jpg). This mark firmly establishes its late Victorian or Edwardian pedigree (circa 1890-1910).
. This mark firmly establishes its late Victorian or Edwardian pedigree (circa 1890-1910). Originally cast as an exceptionally high-quality candlestick or oil lamp column, it has been beautifully and professionally converted into an electric table lamp.
The heavy brass base stands on ornate, Rococo-style scrolled feet that gracefully flow up into a classic turned baluster column. The brass boasts a gorgeous, rich natural patina that only centuries of age can bring. It comes paired with a vintage, cream-colored fabric lampshade decorated with sophisticated patterns and a beautiful long fringe, which complements the warm glow of the solid brass perfectly.
The lamp is fully functional, equipped with a standard UK 3-pin plug, and includes the Philips light bulb shown in the photographs as a complementary addition so it is ready to use immediately.
Exclusive Gift Included: As a special thank you to the winning bidder, the functional white LED light bulb currently installed will be safely packaged and shipped along with the lamp completely free of charge.
