A pair of fine Victorian brass telescopic standard lamps, late 19th century, each with later electrical fitment above a dished moulding (previously for housing oil reservoirs), the fastening collars for the telescopic shafts with plaques inscribed for HART SON PEARD & CO. LONDON beneath stellar motifs, each above three scrolling mounts rising from triform bases, on disc feet, 179cm high raised, 143cm high lowered
The stellar motif appearing above the maker's plaques would usually be associated with the work of William Tonks & Sons, but that great manufactory seems to have had little to do with the equally respected firm of Hart, Son, Peard & Co, and the stellar motifs are possibly therefore incidental
Hart, Son, Peard and Co. were architectural metalworkers based in London and Birmingham, and most associated with ecclesiastical works. Founded in 1842 in Wych St, off The Strand, by ironmonger Joseph Hart, they became artistic metalworkers specialising in ecclesiastical manufactures after merging with Birmingham-based Peard & Jackson in 1866-7. Also skilled in sculpture, the firm made designs by J.P. Seddon, B.J. Talbert and Alfred Waterhouse. They made silverwork for William Burges, and in the early 1870s for William Butterfield -the company also having an agent in Paris, Henri Collet
The company were represented at all the major exhibitions, winning many medals, including at: London (1851, 1862); Paris (1855, 1867, 1878); Dublin (1855, 1865); and Philadelphia (1876)
