Description
This is a striking, heavy table lamp created from a repurposed vintage or antique terracotta olive jar (or confit pot). With its incredibly earthy, weathered green patina and substantial wooden base, this piece brings a fantastic Mediterranean, farmhouse, or wabi-sabi aesthetic to any room. (Note: Lamp shade and bulbs are not included).
Design & Form: The body of the lamp is a classic, bulbous terracotta storage jar featuring two traditional ear-style loop handles on the upper shoulders. The jar is capped with a thick, dark wooden lid and rests securely on a substantial, rustic wooden slab base.
Finish & Patina: The true star of this piece is its heavily distressed surface. The underlying terracotta clay is visible beneath layers of weathered, mottled green and earthy-toned paint, giving it an authentic, centuries-old appearance.
Hardware: The lamp is outfitted with a high-quality, brass-tone double-socket cluster. Each socket is stamped "LEVITON" and operates independently via its own classic bead-chain pull. It is topped with a decorative brass finial.
Dimensions: This is a large, substantial lamp standing approximately 30 inches tall from the bottom of the wooden base to the top of the finial.
Condition: Rustic / Pre-owned Condition. The lamp is in good, functional working order, with both sockets successfully tested. The pottery body is intentionally rustic with heavy surface wear. Please carefully note: There is a notable, historic chip/break on the top edge of one of the terracotta ear handles, revealing the red clay beneath. This blends well with the overall distressed aesthetic but is important to mention. The brass hardware shows a nice, even aged patina.
