Antique Neoclassical Brass Torchiere Floor Lamp
An early 20th century neoclassical torchiere floor lamp featuring a substantial green onyx base and classical brass column.
This architectural piece draws from the original French torchère form — tall columnar stands designed to cast light upward — later adapted for electricity in the 1910s–1930s. The result is both sculptural and atmospheric.
The heavy stone base grounds the lamp beautifully, while the frosted glass bowl diffuses a soft, upward glow that adds warmth without harshness. It feels at home in traditional interiors, Palm Beach spaces, European-inspired rooms, or collected historic homes.
Details:
• Likely circa 1920s–1930s
• Solid brass column with classical detailing
• Green onyx stone base
• Frosted glass torchiere shade
• Heavy, stable construction
Condition:
The onyx base has a visible crack (see photos) that has been repaired. The lamp remains fully stable and functional. The stone is solid and secure; the pricing reflects this cosmetic flaw. A clear stone epoxy stabilization could further minimize visibility if desired.
This is not a lightweight decorative reproduction — it is a substantial architectural lighting piece with presence.
Shipping:
Due to weight and fragility, we offer white-glove freight shipping for a flat $299 within the continental U.S.
