Elegant vintage Neoclassical table lamp modeled after a classical two-handled urn, featuring a warm amber-brown marbleized finish, sculptural gilt swan-form handles, and richly detailed classical ornament.
The elongated urn body is framed by gilt foliate and fluted elements and rises from a dark brown pedestal with a gilt laurel border. A substantial stepped square plinth with gilt architectural molding anchors the composition. The combination of warm brown, aged gold and classical detailing gives the lamp a wonderful French Empire and Louis XVI Revival character.
The design is reminiscent of decorative lighting produced by makers such as Frederick Cooper and Chelsea House, known for Neoclassical urn-form lamps incorporating wood, mixed materials and classical mounts. No maker’s label has been located on this example, and it is offered as an unattributed vintage piece. The underside bears the cast/production marking “X48.”
Dimensions:
Approximately 35” H × 10.25” W at the swan handles
Base: 7” × 7”
Original shade: 18” diameter × 12” H
Lamp weight: approximately 9 lbs without shade
The original cream fabric shade is included and measures approximately 18” diameter × 12” H. The shade displays beautifully with the lamp and retains its original proportions, but it has several tears/damaged areas from age. Please see photographs for details.
The lamp is currently working. The socket switch/key operates properly; however, the lamp also has a secondary inline cord switch that is finicky/intermittent. The new owner may wish to have the inline switch replaced. Electrical components have not been professionally inspected, and as with all vintage lighting, professional inspection prior to extended use is recommended.
The decorative finish displays age and character throughout, including craquelure, surface variation, patination, gilt wear and areas of finish loss. Please review photographs closely for condition.
