19th Century French Giltwood Table Lamp with Ornate Carved Base

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
This refined 19th century French table lamp, originally a candlestick, has been artfully converted for modern use while preserving its timeless decorative appeal. Carved from wood and finished in a rich antique gold gilt, the lamp features a beautifully tapered baluster form with intricate detailing throughout.

The upper portion is crowned with a circular drip pan adorned with delicate leaf and scroll carvings, transitioning into a slender, turned shaft punctuated by a bulbous central knop with vertical fluting. The base is especially charming — a three-sided pedestal design with deeply carved floral motifs and scrolling volutes, resting on rounded bun feet that add a graceful touch of stability and character.

The gilded finish has aged gracefully, lending a warm patina that highlights the depth and artistry of the carving. Topped with a classic white linen shade, the lamp offers a soft, inviting glow, blending historic charm with everyday elegance.

Professionally rewired and ready for use, this piece is ideal for collectors and decorators seeking to infuse French antique sophistication into living spaces, bedrooms, or entryways.
