Antique 19th Century Regency Table Lamp

An unusual bronze 'Athénienne' table lamp in the Grand Tour taste. 20th century. Why we like it Formed of three arrows, this design derives from the sacrificial tripods, later known as athéniennes that were used in ancient Greece and Rome, the original examples found at excavations at Pompeii or Herculaneum.  Supported on classical tripod stands, athéniennes were adapted for lighting and  burning perfumes, as plant holders or as stands for decorative vases and urns. May be wired for any country. Shade is shown for illustration/presentation purposes only and is not available/not included. Would you like to see more beautiful things from our collection?

This beautiful marble is known as Lapis Hecatontalithos, which translates from Latin (derived from Greek) as 'hundred stones' due to various inclusions of rock. Splendid columns made of this marble are in the Basilica di San Vitale, a 6th century church in Ravenna, Italy, an important surviving example of early Christian Byzantine art and architecture.
