Italian Alabaster Lamp circa 1940s
About the Item
Alabaster is made from an array of materials derived from two unique minerals: calcite, which is a carbonate of calcium, and gypsum, a hydrous sulfate of calcium. It was used across ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia for small sculptures, particularly in temples for deities and devotional vessels dating back as early as the early 3rd century BC. Our ancient ancestors in Egypt and the Far East produced some of the earliest examples, using Alabaster to adorn their sarcophagi, carve small sculptures, vases, perfume bottles and countless other decorative and functional objects. In ancient European cathedrals, alabaster was used for carved relief art panels as altar pieces, and even for the windows because of its translucency when cut into thin sheets.
This carved alabaster table lamp has all of the desirable hallmarks of age and patina one hopes for and a Neoclassical form that suggests class and affluence. The shade does show wear, but of course, that is part of the charm of incorporating pieces with history into our lives.
