This is a museum-quality, solid bronze Egyptian Revival Newell Post Lamp from circa 1870, featuring deep acid-etched shades. Unlike most figural Newell Post Lamps from this period, which were made of white metal, this lamp is made entirely of bronze. It was originally powered by gas and later electrified at the turn of the 20th century.
This lamp is a stunning example of Victorian exoticism in the Eastlake Reform period, which marked a shift from the earlier Revival Period towards a more distinct aesthetic influenced by the Eastlake Design Movement and the larger Aesthetic Movement. This movement was characterized by the motto "Art for Arts Sake," which sparked significant discussion during the period.
Standing at 30 inches tall with a 9-inch diameter base, this figural Phoenix lamp is a true masterpiece of artistry. It originated from a townhouse in Boston's South End and is a testament to the creativity and skill of the Victorian era.
With its rarity and unique value, this lamp is sure to heighten the function and style of any space it illuminates. And with reasonable offers considered, now is the perfect time to put your personal stamp on your home with this exquisite piece.
