This is an exceptional Late Victorian "Composite" lamp, c. 1880–1895, featuring a rare Flint Glass pedestal base. The base is crafted in a vibrant Cerulean / Peacock Blue in the classic "Scalloped Rib" (or Scalloped Flute) pattern.
Collector’s Note on Material: The blue pedestal base is genuine flint glass, confirmed by a clear, high-pitched resonance (ring) when tapped, distinguishing it from common soda-lime glass. The clear glass font is joined by a secure brass collar to the quatrefoil footed base.
