Antique Silver Plate Compote Converted to Lamp – Simpson, Hall & Miller
Here we have a unique antique silver plate compote by Simpson, Hall & Miller, creatively converted into a decorative table lamp. The original base—once part of an elegant late-19th-century compote—displays ornate floral banding and tripod supports featuring beautifully cast griffin or animal-form feet. The conversion is neatly executed, maintaining the original patina and craftsmanship while adding a new life as a functional lamp.
Topped with a woven green-trimmed shade that complements its aged silver tones, the piece blends Victorian design with a rustic, mid-century sensibility.
Approx. dimensions: 5" diameter x 17" height
Weight: 2 lb 2 oz

*Condition*
Patina and wear consistent with age; lamp is functional but sold as vintage wiring—rewiring recommended for regular use. Good overall condition and presents nicely. A beautiful one of a kind lamp.
