This pair of antique lamps have been gently cleaned while respecting the aged patina. They are newly rewired, earthed, PAT tested by an electrician and ready to use.

& clip on silk lampshade
. Lightbulbs included. These lamps can be used with a dimmer. It is possible to use these lights in other countries with a light bulb suitable to local electricity.
Presented here is a fine petite pair of antique 19th Century Regency candlesticks made in England around the 1830`s converted into lamps.
These lamps are in the style of the earlier English Regency period, with several design features present: the idyllic & naive interpretation of nature & animal themes, Neoclassical features, elegant delicate proportions, and good weight.
The sculptural form & delicate proportions make these lamps well proportioned for a shelf, bedside or mantelpiece. They would suit a range of interiors such as Antique, Art Deco, Traditional, Country, Hollywood Regency, or Contemporary.
The design consists of a stag & doe reclining under a tree with squirrels on the branches, made of polished bronze, on a rectangular plinth with a chamfered border. An exquisite composition showing the animals & nature in a calm & harmonious idyllic setting.
Both candlesticks started as a pair and were individually quality cast. Engraved with great attention to detail
& finished by hand, resulting in small variations in design & proportions with
slight angled sconces, all signs of authentic 19th Century antique pieces.
The top of the tea trunk leads to the bulbous candle sconce, decorated with subtle linear Neoclassical motifs, leading to a new lamp holder covered by a new cream card candle tube.
Both lamps are finished with quality new clip-on cream silk candle lampshades. The shade is tapered and has wide pleat detailing, complete with a crepe trim top & bottom. It is lined in the same colour which enhances the glow of light. These lampshades are included in the price.
Each lamp carries 1 standard small screw light bulb (E14) up to 40 Watts. At present they are fitted & photographed with new LED dimmable Candle Clear shaped light bulbs of 40 Watts. These are included in the price.
The bottom of the bases have brown felt underneath to protect the furniture below.
These antique lamps are in very good condition for their age. The frames are sound with no damages or broken parts. The metal surfaces overall are in very good condition with the original antique patina preserved. There are minor subtle superficial marks & rubbing, this effect is uniform adding character & depth, in line with age. The lampshades are new and in very good condition.

THE REGENCY STYLE IN ENGLAND
It covers the period from 1811 to 1820 when George, Prince of Wales, governed the country as `Regent` during the madness of his father George III. Originally known as “English Empire,” this style was eventually named after England`s Prince Regent. The Regency Style owes a great deal to the French Empire Style, but refinements were added to make it more suitable to English tastes. It retained classical elements of the Georgian period such as delicate proportions &
the idyllic & naive interpretation of nature & animal themes, but opened up to more Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Asian and French influences.
