A lovely late 19th century Victorian spelter oil lamp featuring elegant neoclassical design elements and a beautifully molded base with acanthus leaf motifs. The lamp sits on an octagonal black stone plinth, giving it a substantial and stately presence. Its frosted and etched glass shade, decorated with stylized floral forms, diffuses light softly and reflects the refined taste of the late Victorian era.
This lamp is a fine example of period craftsmanship, when decorative lighting blended art and utility. The spelter body retains much of its original finish, offering a pleasing contrast against the etched glass shade and brass collar. Together, these materials lend a sense of quiet sophistication to the piece, suitable for display in both traditional and eclectic interiors.
In nice antique condition consistent with age and normal use, showing minor surface wear and some variation in finish. A graceful and decorative accent that evokes the artistry and charm of late 19th-century domestic life. 10h x 4.5w x 4.5d
