W. A. S. Benson, Cast Iron Four-Leg Table Oil Lamp

£2,750

A cast iron table oil lamp designed by W. A. S. Benson (1854–1924), exemplifying the fusion of industrial materials and organic line central to the Arts and Crafts Movement. The lamp stands on a four-leg base with foliate motifs cast in relief, supporting a spherical copper reservoir and original brass burner. The balanced geometry and refined metalwork reveal Benson’s command of both engineering and ornament. Such designs embodied the movement’s ambition to elevate domestic craftsmanship through elegant yet practical form.
