A fine Napoleon III French bronze lamp figure of Hebe on a marble base and ormolu feet, circa 1870.
Napoleon III bronze lamps embody the opulence and innovation of mid nineteenth century France. Produced during the Second Empire, they blend classical revival forms with industrial precision.
Richly cast bronze bases display scrolling foliage, masks, cherubs, or mythological figures, often finished with deep patination or gilding. Lamps were adapted from earlier candelabra as gas and electricity transformed interiors. Their weighted proportions, ornate detail, and luxurious materials suited grand salons and hôtels particuliers.
Today, Napoleon III bronze lamps are prized by collectors for craftsmanship, historical resonance, and their ability to bring dramatic, period elegance to both traditional and eclectic interiors settings.
