Description
This exquisite pair of ornate table lamps carries over a century of history, lovingly preserved and sympathetically restored for modern interiors. Originally crafted in the late 19th century, these decorative bases likely began life as candlesticks or early gas lamps, during a period when Rococo revival design was highly fashionable. The elegant curves, lavish scrollwork, and detailed cast motifs are all hallmarks of this era—bringing a dramatic yet refined aesthetic to any space.
Each base is solidly cast, possibly in spelter or cast iron, and displays fine craftsmanship typical of 1800s foundry work. Inside the base, an original casting number can still be seen—offering a subtle clue to their origins and production method.
Over time, these pieces were converted to electric use, likely during the early 20th century, reflecting the shift in domestic lighting technology. Most recently, they have undergone a complete restoration. The bases have been professionally finished in a rich matte black, which highlights the depth and detail of the design, giving them a timeless, slightly gothic elegance.
The lamps are now fully rewired to modern electrical standards, and paired with a bespoke set of vintage-style shades. The scalloped ochre/golden fabric, trimmed in braid with hanging glass bead fringe, complements the dark bases beautifully—offering a warm and atmospheric glow when lit.
These lamps would be equally at home in a grand period setting, a richly layered eclectic interior, or even as standout statement pieces in a contemporary room.
Condition:
Excellent restored condition. Rewired with modern fittings, tested and ready to use. Some minor wear consistent with age retained deliberately to preserve character.
Delivery available or collection from Midhurst.
A rare and charming pair of antique lamps that carry their story with grace—now ready for their next chapter.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
