Description
Fine Pair of Late 19th Century Ormolu Ewer Form Table Lamps, c.1890
A handsome and decorative pair of antique table lamps, finely cast in the form of classical ewers. Dating from the late 19th century, circa 1890, these heavy gilded brass (ormolu) bodies are of particularly good quality, with rich neoclassical decoration throughout.
Each lamp features:
A repoussé-style body with figural scenes in relief, including playful putti and foliate motifs
Everted pouring lips with leafwork detailing and delicately modelled serpent-like handles
Green painted (possibly patinated) accents to neck and base, creating elegant contrast with the gilt surface
Tripartite bases with paw feet and bold rococo-style mounts
Modern electrical fittings, sensitively converted for use as table lamps
Dimensions
Height (excluding harp): 63 cm / 25 in
Width: 26 cm / 10 in
Depth: 20 cm / 8 in
Condition
Very good condition commensurate with age. Some light wear to the gilding in places. Professionally rewired and ready for use. Shades not included.
A striking and substantial pair, ideal for adding classical opulence to an interior.
