Description from the seller
Art Deco Alabaster Pendant Lamp – Veined Stone Bowl – France, ca. 1930
Description
Elegant Art Deco pendant lamp executed in carved alabaster, dating from the 1920s–1930s.
The shallow bowl is crafted from natural alabaster with dramatic brown and honey-coloured veining. When illuminated, the stone becomes beautifully translucent, revealing organic cloud-like patterns and darker mineral veins throughout the surface.
The scalloped rim adds a subtle decorative touch, typical of French Art Deco lighting of the period. The suspension consists of braided cords gathered in a central knot and connected to a matching alabaster canopy.
