AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Ancient Florentine amphora converted into a lamp: classic elegance with new life

This impressive garden vase in the shape of an amphora, made of marble or alabaster and worked with the delicacy typical of Florentine workshops, is a decorative piece with a strong presence that has been recently transformed into a lamp. Its classic silhouette — open cup, rounded body and pedestal base — preserves all the purity of the original design, while the natural veining of the stone adds depth, translucence and a warm, characteristic shine of noble materials.

Features that set it apart

• Authentic material — Marble or alabaster carved with natural veining that makes each piece unique.
• Florentine aesthetic — Harmonious proportions, clean lines and a smooth finish that recall the Italian sculptural tradition.
• Lamp conversion — Recently adapted for ambient lighting, while preserving its ornamental essence.
• Antique piece — Keeps patina and the character of the time, reinforcing its decorative and collectible value.

Condition and functionality

The lamp operates correctly, although the wiring requires modernization to meet current standards and ensure safe and durable use. The stone structure is in excellent condition, without relevant cracks and with a polish that enhances its natural translucence.

Decorative value

Its presence makes any space feel more sophisticated: it provides soft light, mineral texture, and a classic atmosphere that harmonizes with traditional interiors as well as contemporary settings seeking a sculptural piece with history.

Certified shipping and careful packaging.
