AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller



Large Italian Alabaster Urn Table Lamp – Classical Amphora Form with Bronze Trim

Impressive and elegant large table lamp carved from translucent alabaster, designed in the form of a classical amphora or urn with two stylised scroll handles. The lamp features refined decorative bronze-coloured metal bands at the rim and body, emphasizing the classical design.

The alabaster displays beautiful natural mineral veining which becomes particularly striking when illuminated. When the lamp is switched on, the stone glows with a warm, soft light that highlights the natural translucency and internal patterns of the alabaster, creating a very atmospheric decorative effect.

The lamp stands on a solid pedestal base carved from the same stone, giving the piece a strong architectural presence. Its large size and sculptural form make it suitable as a statement lighting piece in both classical and contemporary interiors.

This type of alabaster lighting was commonly produced in Italy, particularly in the Volterra region, during the mid-20th century.

Material: carved alabaster with metal decorative bands
Style: classical / neoclassical
Origin: Italy (likely Volterra region)
Period: mid-20th century

Condition:
Good overall condition with normal signs of age. Minor surface wear and natural inclusions typical of alabaster. One visible natural vein line in the upper rim (see photos). Fully functional lighting.


A striking decorative alabaster lamp combining sculpture and lighting, ideal for creating warm ambient illumination.
