Gothic Revival c.1880 Brass Table Lamp in the Manner of A. W. N. Pugin
SOLD
A substantial Gothic Revival brass table lamp in the manner of Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin, exhibiting the characteristic architectural gravity and ecclesiastical detailing that define mid-nineteenth-century English Gothic design. The lamp’s structure rises from a circular base with lobed outline and castellated edge, supporting a tapering column enriched with pierced ornament and foliate tracery. Above, a corona of six lights is arranged around a crenellated gallery, each socket encased by cusped and castellated mounts recalling the crocketed finials of Gothic architecture. The intricate brasswork displays superb quality and precision, likely the product of a specialist metalworker influenced by Pugin’s reformist ideals of integrity and craftsmanship. The form evokes church lighting designs adapted for domestic use during the later Gothic Revival, reflecting the Victorian fascination with moralised medieval design.
