Brass Parlor Table Lamp

(circa 1900)

$275

Unsigned, this attractive “Hobnail-Style” brass table lamp captures the beginning of the “Arts & Crafts” era.

Typical of the “Turn-of-the-Century” as the Victorian “elegance” began to fade into a more Unitarian style, often you will find examples with Victorian accents incorporated in suggesting a subtle transition from one era to another.

This attractive lamp is a fine example of this “transition-period” as the base has a simple textured “hammered-like” background accented by the “Hobnail” design. However, the handles are a simplistic yet Victorian styled scroll and the “footing” of the base is again Victorian-styled cut out scroll.

The shade is old but we have no idea if it is original to the lamp. In our professional opinion the shade is not original. It’s design and along with the painted pinecones suggest that it is more likely a shade from the 30’s or 40’s. We can, however, guarantee the rest of the lamp is all original.

This is a wonderful solid quarter-sawn oak parlor/boudoir desk. It was offered by the Larkin Soap Co. in their 1901 catalog for $6 certificates – in exchange for the purchase of $6 worth of Larkin Soap Products. (A history of the Larkin Soap Co. can be found in one of Our Newsletters:  September 2001 and July 2003.) Listed as the “Lady Washington Boudoir Desk” in the Larkin catalog it is described as a “high-grade, graceful desk that is Boudoiresque”.  The desk has a beveled mirror backsplash, delicate French legs and pigeonholes with a drawer inside and one drawer below. This wonderful desk is not only accented by the lovely quarter-sawn grain but also w/ hand carved applied carving at the crest of the mirror and below the drawer.

The catalog ad states that the desk measures 52.5”H x 29.5”W & the “handsomely shaped” bevel mirror measures 6” x 24”. It says the bric-a-brac shelf on the top is 7.5” x 29.5” and the large drawer is 3.25” D x 12”L x 24” W. A spacious writing desk of 28”deep with six pigeon holes for envelopes and letter paper; two compartments for account books and a small drawer. (See photos to view the original catalog ad).

The fun thing about anything Larkin is the story of Larkin that goes with it!! Generally the history of a piece is unknown but when a guest in your home says “What a beautiful desk” you can reply “Yes - and it originally was free with $6 worth of soap.” It adds so much character to the piece and not to mention lots of great conversation.

The bottom acts as a shelf as well.
