Description from the seller
NO RESERVE
Antique Carved Alabaster / Onyx Table Lamp with Bird Handles – Early 20th Century
Beautiful sculptural hand-carved alabaster (onyx marble) table lamp in the form of a classical amphora with two stylized bird handles. When illuminated, the natural stone becomes translucent and reveals warm honey-colored veining, creating a very atmospheric glow.
The lamp is carved from solid stone and displays fine craftsmanship, especially visible in the delicate openwork birds forming the handles.
Likely produced in Italy or France in the early to mid-20th century, in the tradition of decorative alabaster lighting popular during the Art Deco / neoclassical revival period (1930–1950).
Features
• Material: carved alabaster / onyx marble
• Design: amphora / urn form with bird handles
• Technique: hand carved from solid stone
• Light effect: beautiful natural translucency when lit
• Style: Art Deco / neoclassical decorative lighting
Condition
Good vintage condition.
Minor wear and small natural stone inclusions consistent with age and material. The lamp is fully functional and provides a warm decorative light.
Heavy solid stone construction.
Notes
The lamp’s translucent stone produces a spectacular warm glow when illuminated, highlighting the natural veins of the alabaster.
A very decorative and elegant piece suitable for classic, Art Deco, or eclectic interiors.
