Pair of Victorian Style Brass Carriage or Processional Pillar Lamps

This is a pair of tall, stately brass pillar lamps featuring colored glass globe shades, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century Victorian or Edwardian era. The lamps are constructed from cast and spun brass, characterized by a tall cylindrical stem mounted on a weighted circular bell-shaped base. A notable decorative feature includes an ornate, scrolled rococo-style finger handle attached to the main shaft, suggesting these may have been designed as portable processional or carriage lanterns. One lamp is topped with an emerald green glass shade with a scalloped, gold-gilded rim and is further embellished with clear glass teardrop crystal prisms suspended from the collar. The second lamp features an amber-honey toned glass shade with a flared trumpet rim. Both glass shades exhibit a hand-blown appearance with a slight bulbous widening at the base. The brass surfaces show an aged patina with significant oxidation, surface grime, and dark spotting consistent with long-term exposure. There are minor scratches on the brass and some wear to the gold gilding on the green shade's rim. No maker's marks are visible in the current view, but the craftsmanship of the heavy brass casting and the inclusion of crystal lustres indicate a high-quality decorative piece originally intended for elegant interior or ceremonial use.
