1940s Two-Bodies White Volterra Alabaster Table Lamp by Bianchi Factory, Italy

About the Item

1940s two-bodies white Volterra alabaster table lamp by Bianchi Factory, Italy By: Bianchi Factory Material: alabaster, stone, copper, metal Technique: hand-crafted, cast, molded, metalwork Dimensions: 8 in x 8 in x 20 in Date: mid-20th century, circa 1940 Style: Mid-Century Modern, Space Age Place of origin: Italy A sculptural composition of alabaster, this 1940s Italian table lamp by Bianchi Factory exhibits the refined craftsmanship of Volterra’s stone artisans. The structure consists of two distinct sections: a stepped base supporting four angular pillars that converge to hold the lighting mechanism and a cubic upper body serving as the shade. The surface is adorned with fine copper inlays forming linear deer motifs and floral patterns, accentuating the geometric precision of the stepped contours. Volterra, renowned for its superior-quality alabaster, has been a center of fine stonework for centuries. The material’s translucent properties allow light to diffuse softly, enhancing its natural veining and warm, ivory-toned hue. In this lamp, the meticulous handcrafting of the alabaster enhances both its aesthetic and functional qualities, combining the purity of form with a sophisticated interplay of materials and ornamentation. A testament to mid-century Italian design, this piece seamlessly merges artistic detail with architectural balance. The lamp's cord is cut, as shown in the pictures, and requires rewiring.
