Lot 1060: A Vintage Neo-classical Fluted Composite Urn Table Lamp
A vintage Neo-classical fluted composite urn table lamp in the classical fashion, featuring a large-scale decorative form. The lamp is constructed with a tapered and fluted body modeled as an urn with dual scrolled foliate-style handles, resting upon a tiered and stepped square pedestal base. The piece is finished in a cream-coloured paint with gilded accents highlighting the fluting, handles, and base mouldings. It is fitted with a single plastic light socket and a white electrical flex. The body bears a white rectangular adhesive lot sticker for HCP Auctions South West printed with Lot 1060. Two further small white adhesive labels are present, each hand-inscribed with the number 718 in black ink. No maker’s marks, signatures, or country-of-origin stamps are visible on the exterior of the lamp.
Large-scale furniture items; exact dimensions are not provided.
Condition report:
The lamp shows overall surface wear consistent with age and use. There are visible scuffs, small marks, and minor paint losses to the cream-coloured finish on the body and base (photo 1). The gilded highlights show moderate rubbing and wear, particularly to the raised edges of the handles and base. The electrical cord shows light surface dirt. No lampshade is present. The item is sold as untested; professional inspection and testing by a qualified electrician is recommended prior to use.
