Late 19th - early 20th century century Berber Vase Converted into Table Lamp – Tribal Heritage with Vintage Elegance This exceptional table lamp is crafted from an authentic late 19th-century Berber terracotta vase, later transformed into a functional lighting piece. Rich in cultural significance, the base retains its original tribal motifs, offering a unique blend of ethnic art and decorative lighting. The amphora-shaped base, with two rounded handles and earthy patina, showcases intricate hand-painted geometric patterns typical of North African Berber artistry. The vase’s conversion into a lamp has preserved its authenticity while giving it new purpose. The elegant textile shade with gold trim softens the light and adds a refined contrast to the rustic base. * Origin: North Africa, Berber culture, late 19th century (converted in mid-20th century) * Materials: Terracotta (base), textile and metal (shade & structure) * Dimensions: 55 cm height x 22 cm width x 15.3 cm depth (21.6 in x 8.7 in x 6 in) * Condition: Fair antique condition.
