An authentic Victorian / Edwardian table lamp, constructed using two real animal hooves, most likely deer, arranged symmetrically around a central white metal stem. Hoof lamps of this type were produced in limited numbers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries and were intended for use in gentlemen’s studies, hunting lodges and country houses. While three-hoof examples are more commonly encountered, two-hoof lamps are notably scarcer, making this a desirable and slightly unusual survivor.
The lamp is mounted on a decorative turned solid wood base and fitted with a decorative pressed white metal collar, displaying foliate detailing typical of the Art Nouveau period. The piece has been converted to electricity at some point in its life, which is entirely typical and expected for lamps of this age. It has been fitted in the past with a Bakelite in-line switch.
This is a genuine period object, not a later reproduction and remains a bold and characterful decorative piece over a century after it was made.
