AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Atmospheric vintage / antique alabaster table lamp. The lamp is entirely made from natural marble/alabaster and, because the stone lets light through, it emits a fantastic warm, diffused light.

The base of the lamp is handcrafted with careful hand-detailed decoration featuring an image of Don Quixote with his shield and hat, and on the other side his loyal horse Rocinante. The heavy alabaster shade rests loosely on the metal frame above the socket.

- Material: Natural alabaster / marble
- Theme: Don Quixote & Rocinante (hand-carved relief)
- Socket: E27 (suitable for LED)
- Country of origin: Spain (primarily in the Volterra region / Italy or Alicante / Spain, where the largest alabaster ateliers were located).
- Period / Year: circa 1950 – 1970 (Mid-Century / the 1960s).
- Weight: approximately 23 kg
- Condition: In good vintage condition. Works as intended. The marble has natural veins and light signs of wear appropriate for the age.

The photos are part of the description (what you see is what you get).

Pickup only: Due to the large size and the fragility of this object it cannot be shipped. The buyer must pick up the statue themselves.
