Description
Few materials carry the quiet luxury of hand-carved alabaster, and this Italian lamp is a masterclass in the craft. The globular body is covered in deeply sculpted roses and leafy foliage in high relief - a labor-intensive technique synonymous with the master carvers of Volterra, Tuscany, Italy's centuries-old center of alabaster artistry.
The natural veining of the stone glows through the slender columnar neck, which rises to meet the carved body and terminates in a delicate capital detail. Below, a turned socle transitions to a square plinth base raised on small gilt feet - giving the lamp a grounded, architectural presence without sacrificing elegance.
The original pleated ivory silk shade with cord trim is included and complements the creamy warmth of the stone beautifully.
A piece that works as effortlessly in a traditional library or bedroom as it does anchoring a maximalist or Hollywood Regency interior.
