An Elegant Carved Alabaster Table Lamp

An impressive and highly decorative alabaster table lamp, beautifully carved in the classical urn form, displaying fine craftsmanship and an attractive natural patina.

The substantial urn-shaped body features finely carved vertical fluting, surmounted by a deeply sculpted, overlapping foliate decoration with delicate shell-like detailing. Above rises a turned and moulded neck, giving the lamp an elegant and well-balanced silhouette.

Raised on a turned socle and square plinth, resting upon a substantial stepped alabaster base, the lamp is fashioned from beautifully figured white alabaster with subtle cream and grey veining throughout.

The design draws inspiration from classical Greco-Roman decorative forms, lending the piece a timeless architectural quality.

Retaining its brass bulb holder and original-style wire shade support, this is a particularly decorative example which would sit equally comfortably in a traditional country house interior or a more contemporary setting.

Condition: Good decorative condition, with natural variations in the alabaster, minor surface marks and wear consistent with age.
