19th Century Volute Krater Table Lamp

About the Item

An elegant and rare 19th century Grand Tour black painted ceramic krater vase, inspired by Ancient Greek designs, now expertly mounted as a table lamp. The vase is of a striking volute krater form, offering a refined addition to any interior. A similar design was published by Thomas Hope in 1807 in his influential book on interior design, 'Household Furniture and Interior Decoration' (see last image). Why we like it: This lamp offers a sophisticated and timeless appeal. With its fine craftsmanship and well-proportioned scale, it serves as both a functional lighting solution and a distinctive decorative piece, perfect for adding character to any room.
