English Fox Hunting Scene Ceramic Table Lamp

Story

In the mid-20th century, Western homes fell in love with 'country manor' style. This lamp captured that romance, depicting riders in traditional scarlet coats—confusingly called 'pinks' after the famous 18th-century tailor Thomas Pink.

Maker / Origin

While the specific manufacturer of the ceramic body is unmarked on the exterior, companies like Crown Devon, Carlton Ware, and various Staffordshire potteries frequently produced similar equestrian and hunting-themed wares. These pieces were often exported or mounted by lighting companies to satisfy the global appetite for traditional British sporting art.

Condition & Value

The ceramic body appears to be in excellent condition with no visible cracks or major crazing in the glaze. The brass-plated fittings show typical light oxidation, and the wooden base has minor scuffs consistent with age. The shade appears to be a modern replacement, which preserves the lamp's utility.
