MCM-058 — Antique Iron Floor Lamp with Green Glass Shade & Ceramic Tile Side Table, c.Early 20th Century
A charming and characterful antique iron floor lamp combining a green glass shade with an integrated green ceramic tile side table — a highly functional and decorative form that was popular in Arts & Crafts, Mission, and early Art Nouveau interiors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The twist-detail ironwork stem and base are hallmarks of period hand-forged metalwork, and the marriage of wrought iron, art glass, and decorative tilework reflects the era's enthusiasm for unified, artisanal interior furnishings.
Floor lamps with integrated side tables — sometimes called torchère-tables or piano lamps — were a popular form in American and European interiors from roughly 1890 through the 1930s. The combination of green slag or art glass shades with iron framework is closely associated with the American Arts & Crafts movement and contemporaneous European production. The ceramic tile table surface, with its green glaze and crazing consistent with age, adds further decorative and practical appeal.
