Description from the seller

A decorative table lamp comprising a turned and carved alabaster column of warm honeyed tone, rising from a stepped square base. The baluster-form shaft is accented with restrained carved detail and fitted with gilt metal mounts, terminating in a base set on four stylized lion’s paw feet in gilt brass, lending a classical accent to the composition.

The lamp is surmounted by a tapered cylindrical shade with a light fabric exterior and contrasting darker trim to the upper and lower edges. The alabaster displays natural veining and tonal variation, characteristic of the material, contributing to its visual depth when illuminated.

Overall in good decorative condition with wear consistent with age and use. The alabaster in good order with typical natural inclusions.
