This unusual nineteenth-century Italian table lamp comprises a carved alabaster campana urn base fitted with an interior light and filled with multicoloured hand-blown glass fruit and foliage. The urn displays a gadrooned edge around the rim and sits on a square pedestal base raised on brass ball feet. The illumination glows from within the bowl, highlighting the translucent green, yellow, dark red and black glass grapes and gilded leaves nestled inside. The piece measures 32 cm high by 38 cm wide and deep. Positioned on a sideboard top, this maximalist lamp provides warm accent lighting while serving as a decorative sculptural object in a living room, dining room or hallway. The combination of carved stone, polished metal hardware and vibrant glass elements creates a distinctive focal point suited to eclectic interiors.

FAQs

An Italian glass fruit lamp is a mid-century decorative lighting fixture featuring hand-blown or moulded glass fruits arranged inside a bowl or urn base. Internal bulbs illuminate the translucent glass components, creating ambient accent lighting.

These lamps typically combine coloured art glass fruit with carved natural stone bases such as alabaster or marble, mounted on internal metal framework.

Authentic mid-century examples feature individually wired glass fruit pieces, hand-carved stone bases displaying natural mineral veining, and vintage Italian wiring hardware.

Place the lamp on a sideboard, console table, or credenza to serve as an ambient accent piece. The illuminated coloured glass pairs effectively with contemporary neutral backdrops and maximalist interior schemes.

Dust the glass elements using a soft dry brush or compressed air. Wipe the alabaster base gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water or abrasive chemical cleaners that can compromise porous stone.
