Urn - Marble - Vaughan Designs Lamp

It is a piece that combines sculpture, design and functionality with that air of distinction we now associate with Vaughan Designs, even though it actually originates in the first half of the 20th century, when marble was still a favored material for creating luminous objects with architectural presence. Here, the old urn is transformed into a lamp, preserving its ceremonial character while adapting to domestic life with sober and timeless elegance.

The white marble, polished and with soft veining, provides a sense of purity and visual weight. The upper part, worked with a pattern of geometric reliefs that recall petals, scales or stylized motifs, introduces a language clearly Art Deco: repetition, rhythm, symmetry and a pursuit of beauty through refined form. It is not a strict Deco of the 1920s, but a later, calmer interpretation, typical of workshops that continued to explore the style in later decades.

The base, rounded and solid, balances the composition and allows the light — once turned on — to play with the marble textures, creating soft shadows that enhance the relief. The interior is in good condition, with its original socket, which facilitates use and conservation. It only needs a new power extension, a minor adjustment that does not affect the piece’s integrity.

Overall, it is a lamp that blends classicism, modernity and craftsmanship, perfect for environments that seek a sculptural touch, warm light and an object with history. A piece that not only illuminates but anchors the space with its serene presence and its echo of reinterpreted Art Deco.
