Description
Vintage sculptural horse table lamps, a pair, Maison Jansen style, wood & gilt bronze, 1970`s ca, French.
This pair of vintage lamps have been gently cleaned while respecting the aged patina. They are newly rewired, earthed, PAT tested by an electrician and ready to use. Each has the following new components: brass lamp holder, gold silk cable, black cord switch, black plug (UK Plug up to 250V) & new pagoda shades. Lightbulbs included. These lamps can be used with a dimmer. It is possible to use these lights in other countries with a light bulb suitable to local electricity.
Presented here is a fine pair of 20th Century sculptural table lamps in the manner of Maison Jansen of Paris. They were originally manufactured as lamps. They have several design features typical of Maison Charles: the horse theme, the combination of Traditional & Neoclassical styles simplified in a Modernist design, elegant proportions, luxury materials, quality crisp casting and heavy weight.
The horse theme has been used regularly over the years in France. This Neoclassical design gets the inspiration from ancient Greek horse sculptures.
The sculptural form & elegant proportions make these lamps well proportioned for any room. The equine subject suits a wide range of decors: perfect for a desk, console, side table or sideboard. The design is classic, timeless & decorative. They would suit a range of interiors such as Antique, Art Deco, Traditional, Hollywood Regency, Post Modern, Industrial or Contemporary.
The composition of each lamp consists of a removable quality cast & heavy gilt bronze horse in motion standing on an oval wooden mahogany base. The base has a satin polished finish with a stepped border all around. Under the horse there is a polished brass rectangular sheet attached to the wood that reflects the light from above towards the horse sculpture. The wooden base has new black felt underneath to protect the furniture below.
The gilt bronze heavy horse sculptures make this lamps strong & stable. The detailing is very decorative: the horse`s ears, hair, position of the head & leg movement make it very unique and full of character. The saddles add an exotic touch. The warm combination of metals and antique patina further add character. As they are removable they can be placed in different positions on the base to create a different look (facing each other, right or left). These horse sculptures were individually handmade so there are minor variations in design & proportions.
From the back portion of the wooden base a tubular reeded brass column raises towards the new brass lampholder. It is arched forward so the shade becomes in line with the base and the light spot on the sculpture of the horse.
Each lamp carries 1 standard big screw light bulb (E 27) up to 60 Watts. At present they are fitted & photographed with clear Candle shaped light bulbs of 25 Watts. These bulbs are included in the price.
Each lamp is finished with a new white silk pagoda lampshade, complete with a white silk trim top and bottom. It is lined in white which enhances the glow of light.
These vintage lamps are in very good condition. The frames are sound with no damages or broken parts. The wood surfaces in very good condition. The metal surfaces overall are in very good condition with the original vintage patina preserved, adding character & depth. There are minor superficial marks & patination in places in line with age. The 2 new lampshades are in very good condition.

The total Height with the shades on is: 60 cm.
The base alone (without the lampshades) is: Height: 41.5 cm, Width: 37 cm, Depth: 17 cm.

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
