Antique Brass Telescopic Standard Lamp

A late Victorian brass standard lamp with triform base and stylised paw feet. It is an excellent quality piece and the design is similar to that of W.A.S. Benson. It has a central tubular upright and the top part is telescopic so the height can be adjusted. It was most likely originally an oil lamp which has now been converted to electricity. It has been Pat tested and rewired to modern standards to take a bayonet bulb. It is in good original condition. The brass has been lightly polished and it is strong and sturdy. There are some signs of age and use, some minor marks and a few small dinks around the base and some areas of tarnishing but no major damages and overall it displays well. Approximate Measurements : Height : adjustable from 68" (173cm) to 48" (122cm) Width across Base : 19" (48cm) The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
