Antique Gilt Brass Thomas Messenger & Sons Table Lamp

£425.00

A finely cast table lamp by Thomas Messenger & Sons. c.1900

A beautifully detailed table lamp by Thomas Messenger & Sons, stamped to the underside of the base. Cast in brass with a rich, untouched surface, the lamp displays the quality and ornament associated with the firm's late Victorian and Edwardian production. The circular base is decorated with a band of finely modelled laurel leaves and stands on cast paw feet, while the openwork stem incorporates classical detailing and fluted elements throughout. The original finish has developed a wonderfully mellow patina, with traces of the earlier gilded surface still visible across the high points of the casting.

A highly decorative example from one of Britain's most respected manufacturers, combining excellent casting quality with strong classical influence

Rewired with 2m of black twisted flex and BS 3-pin plug.

About the maker
Thomas Messenger & Sons was one of Britain’s foremost lighting and metalwork manufacturers of the 19th century. Established in Birmingham in the late Georgian period and trading as Thomas Messenger & Sons from the 1830s, the firm became renowned for its high-quality chandeliers, candelabra, oil lamps, gas fittings and decorative bronze work. Operating both a substantial Birmingham foundry and a London showroom, the company supplied grand country houses, churches and public buildings throughout the Victorian era. Their finely cast and often richly gilded lighting fittings are particularly admired today for their craftsmanship, elegant design and important place in the development of British decorative lighting.
