FOR SALE : STURGEON LAMP STANDARD, 1870-1964, THE EMBANKMENT, LONDON. GEORGE VUILLAMY.

The only one for sale in the UK and a unique opportunity to own a piece of history from London's landscape.

The Sturgeon Lamp Standards, 1870-1964, originally located on The Embankment, London. Modelled by James Mabey, under George Vulliamy as the Metropolitan Board of Works Superintending Architect George Vuillamy.

Also called the Dolphin Lamp Standards, these functional pieces of art line the South Bank. These Victorian cast iron standards with their globe-like lanterns were erected from 1870 onwards, for the illumination and decoration of the Albert Embankment and Victoria Embankment opposite.Curled around the base of the standards is the model of an entwined pair of sturgeon, each base alternatively displays either the data of construction or an inscription to the Queen. When building County Hall in 1933, the London County Council (L.C.C) extended the standards to cover its own embankment. In 1964, the L.C.C installed twenty-eight more of the standards, to run from County Hall to the Southbank Concert Halls.
